More about #BaunegBeg ! The name comes from the #Wabanaki word #Bannebeaugue, which means “spread out” and “still water.”

"Bauneg Beg Conservation Area in North Berwick includes 89 acres of deciduous forest land surrounding the 866-foot, three-peaked Bauneg Beg Mountain. The land was acquired by Great Works Regional Land Trust in three parts over the course of seven months in 2000 and 2001.

The 0.65-mile trail winds through a deciduous forest, a pine grove and a section of large boulders described as "Devil's Den" before reaching the highest of the three peaks. Trail forks just before the summit with a choice of routes to the top. Easier trail veers to the right.

Rocky outcroppings offer views of nearby Mount Hope, parts of south Sanford and, according to Great Works Regional Land Trust, on a clear day, Mount Washington to the northwest and the Atlantic Ocean to the southeast."

I spent #opcOnThisDay in 2012 in Las Cruces #NewMexico advocating for the Organ Mountains Desert Peaks National Monument, two years and one day prior to its eventually designation. If you haven’t had a chance to check it out—it’s managed by the Bureau of Land Management, not the National Park Service—make sure it’s on your list. ☀︎ #PublicLands #ConservationLands
