Ellisville Marsh is a treasured community and environmental resource in Plymouth, MA. In 1991, the MA Department of Conservation and Recreation (DCR) acquired nearly 100 acres of marsh and upland, establishing the Ellisville Harbor State Park. In 2003, 51 acres south of the state park was donated to Wildlands Trust, establishing Shifting Lots Preserve. In 2007, the Friends of Ellisville Marsh, Inc. was formed, and Wildlands has worked closely with them to steward this unique preserve ever since.
