YORK, Maine (AP) A Maine land trust has opened a forest preserve in a southern Maine town to the public.

York Land Trust said its 220-acre Fuller Forest Preserve in York has transformed the working forest into a nature preserve that’s open to the public. The first visitors came to the preserve on Dec. 19.

The preserve includes a short hiking trail, pools, streams and woodlands. The trust said it intends to expand the trail system to more than two miles by the spring.

The forest lands once belonged to Henry Fuller and Marion Fuller Brown. They acquired the land after World War II. Marion Fuller Brown co-founded the York Land Trust in the 1980s and was a member of the Maine House of Representatives.
