Two extensive wildlife and plant inventories have been conducted at the Sanctuary by members of Maine Audubon and the Conservation Commission. These inventories document the sightings of several rare species of birds. The Sanctuary's ponds are very sensitive areas teeming with life. They are outdoor classrooms for ecologists, teachers, nature enthusiasts and families. The Sanctuary is currently used by bird watchers enjoy its relative isolation.
Hikers appreciate the natural trails which weave their way toward the marsh and around the ponds.
Teachers bring their classes on field trips to study the ponds, plants and birds, and gain access to the marshland for estuary studies.
