The free 1 mile story trail starts from the Oak Point Farm parking lot kiosk and can be completed at your own pace and on your own time. The current story trail features the read aloud book “A House for Hermit Crab” by Eric Carle. \nIn this story\, Hermit Crab outgrows his snug little shell\, so he finds himself a larger one — and many new friends to decorate and protect his new house. But what will happen when he outgrows this shell and has to say good-bye to all the sea creatures who have made Hermit Crab’s house a home? Filled with whimsy and wisdom—and based on the true behaviors of the hermit crab—this modern classic features Eric Carle’s trademark vibrant collage illustrations and lively text that make for an enjoyable read. Children facing change in their own lives will relate to Hermit Crab’s story — and learn a lot about the fascinating world of marine life along the way. \n

SUMMARY:Story Trail Walk: Hey\, Little Ant
DESCRIPTION:Looking for something to do with your kids during this time of remote learning and social distancing? Come outside and read a family friendly book while on a short and easy hike!  The free 1 mile story trail starts from the Oak Point Farm parking lot kiosk and can be completed anytime during daylight hours. The current story trail features the book “Hey\, Little Ant” by Phillip and Hannah Hoose. Written first as a song by a father and daughter\, this illustrated book features the dialogue of a plucky ant and the kid about to carelessly squish it. Tension builds as the ant states a compelling case for its survival while the kid’s friends gather round to taunt the kid for hesitating. The final line of the book is a question–“What do you think that kid should do?”–leaving the decision squarely in the hands of the reader. Because the book asks children to decide the outcome\, it has been widely used by educators and caregivers to discuss everything from bullying to the ethical treatment of animals. The BRLT Story Trail Walk will feature a new book every few weeks throughout the pandemic at Oak Point Farm.

SUMMARY:Points of View Art Auction
DESCRIPTION:From Barters Island to Ocean Point\, and everything in between\, the Boothbay peninsula is overflowing with terrific galleries and talented artists inspired by the region. There is no better advocate for land conservation than the artists that capture the beauty of our stunning field\, forest\, and waterfront landscapes. Since 1995\, Boothbay Region Land Trust has hosted the Points of View Art Auction to highlight the incredible work of our regional artists\, while also raising funds to support land protection and public access to many of the same places these artists convey in their work. \nThis quadrennial live auction is particularly important since all proceeds will support the This Land is Your Land: Campaign for Oak Point Farm. The event will take place at Oak Point Farm\, a 32-acre public preserve that also serves as BRLT’s new headquarters. In addition to this year’s exciting new event location\, the auction will include the sale of sculptures created during the Maine Stone Symposium\, thanks to a partnership with Sculpture Boothbay. \nHonorary chair Don Demers will again be donating a featured piece to our live auction\, as well as artists Corrine McIntyre\, Peter Egeli\, June Elderkin\, Pat Berger\, John Butke and Brad Betts\, just to name a few. We will also have the professional services of Thomaston Auction Place Galleries serving as auctioneers\, and Seacoast Catering serving up a delicious and hearty spread. \nThis is an event not to be missed! Tickets are $100/person and includes a variety of delectables\, complimentary drinks and live music\, in addition to the auction. Get your tickets through the BRLT office at (207) 633-4818 or here.
