Cutler Coast - Perched at the eastern edge of the Atlantic Ocean and North American continent , the Cutler Coast Preserve and Bog Brook Cove together comprise the 2nd largest contiguous conservation area on the Maine coast ( after Acadia National Park ). A unique composition of spruce-fir-larch forest and glacial influence supports raised coastal peatland and plant communities rarely found south of Canada . Nearly 200 species of birds are recorded along the Cutler Coast , some rare to Maine . Photo by Cathy Lookabaugh . 72
