SUMMARY:Story Trail: Snowflake Bentley
DESCRIPTION:Read a family friendly book while walking through the winter 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 “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 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: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.
