Cancelled: Lobster Cove Meadow Preserve Hike

***due to school closures today this program has been cancelled*** Discover the history and ecology of Lobster Cove Meadow Preserve during a leisurely one mile hike with a naturalist from the Boothbay Region Land Trust. This preserve 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.
