The Arundel Conservation Trust (“ACT”) is committed to preserving the unique rural character of Arundel, keeping the woodlands and nature around us available for all of us - grown-ups, kids, and families - to freely enjoy, learn about, and preserve the natural world and way of life in our small town. Our goal is to build and maintain community space for people of all ages to enjoy!

The Cluff Preserve in 2023!
Our next project is the 40-acre Cluff Preserve off Sinnott Road, with its big open fields, frontage along Goff’s Mill brook, and beautiful woodlands area. We need to build a safe parking lot, several walking trails, and a nature trail alongside Goff’s Mill Brook. The woodlands and open field of this special area deserve a professional conservation management plan, which requires hiring an outside specialist.
