Deb-Tone Farm along Rt. 4. in North Berwick.

 

GWRLT will sponsor a bicycle ride on Saturday, Oct. 2nd to raise funds toward the conservation of Deb-Tone Farm.

 

Riders may sign up for a 20-mile ride and receive a sponsor sheet with more information. The Trust can advise local routes, if desired. Donors/sponsors who contact the office directly may ask to be assigned to a particular rider or a particular area within GWRLT’s six towns: The Berwicks, Eliot, Wells and Ogunquit.

 

To participate in the bicycle ride, as a sponsor or as a rider, contact Linda Trombley, trombley@maine.rr.com, or Christine at 207-646-3604 or info@gwrlt.org.

 

All proceeds from this benefit bike ride will go toward the purchase of a conservation easement on Deb-Tone Farm on Rte. 4 in North Berwick.

 

The 20-acre farm has a beautiful view of Mt. Agamenticus in the background, and cows and corn in the fields.

 

Substantial funding has been provided for this farm project through the federal government and through the Town of North Berwick’s Open Space Fund, but local matching funds are still needed.
