Lobster Cove Meadow Preserve Hike (Event Full)

Please note: This event is full at this time. Please consider joining us on a future hike. Discover the history and ecology of Lobster Cove Meadow Preserve during a leisurely one mile hike with Boothbay Region Land Trust Environmental Educator Tracey Hall. This preserves is exceedingly rich in wildlife, with more than 140 species of migratory and nesting birds sighted, along with a variety of other creatures. Wildflowers adorn the meadow from spring to fall, attracting multitudes of butterflies. In 1880 the stream traversing the wetlands was dammed, creating a large lake that was used for a thriving business harvesting, storing and selling ice. The ice works closed in 1907 but the dam remains in place to stabilize the water level and secure this critical part of Lobster Cove Meadow’s outstanding wildlife habitat. 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.
