DESCRIPTION:Read a family friendly book while walking through the woods. Follow the illustrated signs along the trail as they tell a tale that connects you to your natural surroundings. 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 “Mice Skating”\, written by Annie Silverstro and illustrated by Teagan White. \nFor most field mice\, winter means burrowing down and snuggling in. But Lucy the mouse loves snow crunching under her paws and wearing a fluffy wool hat. And most of all\, Lucy loves to skate\, and she’s just ACHING to show off her new skill with her friends. But the other mice just don’t understand–and after a disastrous indoor snowball fight\, it looks as if they never will. Can Lucy find a way to make the other mice come out and “mice skate” too? With intricately detailed illustrations as cozy as a fireplace\, this funny punny warmhearted love song to winter–and to one brave\, bold\, and generous mouse–will have kids bundling up for some cold-weather fun of their own. \n

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 “Snowflake Bentley” by Jacqueline Briggs Martin with illustrations by Mary Azarian. \nSnowflake Bentley shares the true story of Wilson Bentley from Vermont\, who was mystified by snowflakes since he was a little boy. Bentley was determined that one day his camera would capture for others the wonder of the tiny crystal. His enthusiasm for photographing snowflakes was often misunderstood in his time\, but his patience and determination revealed two important truths: no two snowflakes are alike; and each one is startlingly beautiful.

SUMMARY:Story Trail: The Snow Tree

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.

SUMMARY:Apple Tree Pruning Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Now is a great time to prune apple trees. Pruning in late winter determines a tree’s summer growth and health\, which is then reflected in both the quality of the fruit in the fall and bud set for the following year’s fruit crop. Join us to learn the basics of how to prune apple trees and how to identify and remove overwintering insect pests. Following a 40-minute indoor introduction\, participants will go out to the heritage apple trees of Oak Point Farm for demonstrations and hands-on experience. Instructors Ron Ross and Fred Kraeuter have 70 apple trees\, representing 50 heirloom varieties\, in their River Rd orchard in Boothbay. Many of their young trees\, initially grafted 4-5 years ago\, are just now beginning to flower and bear fruit. In addition to the young trees\, a few alternate-year-bearing mature trees have been producing thousands of apples. Ron is founder and presenter of BRLT’s Annual Apple Talk\, Tasting\, and Tour\, which last September attracted 175 attendees. Space is limited and registration is required. To register contact BRLT Environmental Educator Tracey Hall at thall@bbrlt.org or 633-4818.

SUMMARY:Climate Change\, the Decline of Birds and Insects\, and Other Alarming News
DESCRIPTION:A recently published study in Science reports that there are nearly three billion fewer birds in North America than there were in the 1970s. This news follows reports of declining insect populations and a changing climate. What is happening and what can be done? How can we help? Join us for a closer look at these subjects and other alarming news with Dr. Jeffery Wells.\nDr. Wells is a Fellow of the Cornell Lab of Ornithology and Vice President of Boreal Conservation for National Audubon. He is one of the nation’s leading bird experts and conservation biologists and author of “Birder’s Conservation Handbook”. Along with his wife Allison Childs Wells\, he authors the weekly column “A Bird’s Tale” in the Boothbay Register. Both are widely published natural history writers and are the authors of the book\, “Maine’s Favorite Birds”.\nThis free talk is cosponsored by Indivisible Boothbay and will take place inside the farmhouse at BRLT’s Oak Point Farm\, with seating limited to 25 participants. Registration is required by contacting BRLT Environmental Educator Tracey Hall at thall@bbrlt.org of 633-4818.
