Coburn Woods
Skowhegan, Maine - 304 Acres
The five parcels that form this property are called the Coburn Woods in honor of Louise Helen Coburn, founder and first president of the Somerset Woods Trustees. Louise Helen Coburn donated the original parcel in 1927. Additional parcels were purchased in 2007. This property is mostly wooded and is highly visible to the public from a number of highly traveled and visited locations. Mature timber, early successional growth, riparian areas and vernal pools all provide diverse and essential habitat for many wildlife species. Although a formal trail system does not yet exist, there is ample opportunity for walking, cross country skiing, snowshoeing and mountain biking. There is potential for developing a more formal trail system and linking it to nearby public lands. The Coburn Woods was accepted in 2008 by Maine Audubon in its Community Forest Focus Species Program, and identified by the Maine IF&W Beginning with Habitat maps indicate important natural resources are present.
