Ovens Mouth East Preserve Hike (Event Full)
August 3, 2021 @ 10:00 am - 11:00 am
Please note: This event is full at this time. Please consider joining us on a future hike. Discover the history and ecology of Ovens Mouth East Preserve during a leisurely one mile hike with Boothbay Region Land Trust Environmental Educator Tracey Hall. This wooded preserve features shoreline trails, quiet coves, a salt marsh, and the dramatic tidal change of the Ovens Mouth passage. This area has always been inviting for maritime activities because of its deep-water access and protected location. Settled in the mid-1700’s, one of the region’s earliest shipyards was located here and both British and American vessels hid in the coves during the Revolution. Group is limited to 10 participants with the walk to follow current CDC Covid guidelines for outside gatherings. Registration is required by contacting Tracey at thall@bbrlt.org or 633-4818.
