Follow along as they pop through the winter ice to begin the busy year of eating bark\, building dams and gathering food just in time for winter to come again.

SUMMARY:Partner Event: PFAS in Our Waters: Where They Come From and Where They Go
DESCRIPTION:PFAS—often called “forever chemicals”—are increasingly found in lakes\, rivers\, and streams across the country. These substances can enter surface waters from industrial sources\, wastewater\, landfills\, and even rain. In this talk\, we’ll explore where PFAS come from\, how they move through the environment\, and what we know about their presence in drinking water sources. We’ll also discuss what’s being done to monitor and reduce their impact. \nChristoph Aeppli is a scientist at Bigelow Laboratory for Ocean Sciences\, where he studies the environmental fate and transport of PFAS and other contaminants. His research focuses on how these chemicals move through and change in natural systems\, including water\, sediment\, and organisms. \nThis lecture is the second in a three part series\, From Forests to Faucets\, brought to you by the Boothbay Region Clean Drinking Water Initiative. This series is free to the public. Participants do not need to attend all sessions (each session stands alone and participants can attend as many or few as they choose). Light refreshments will be served. For more information\, please contact Bailey Charron at bcharron@bbrlt.org

SUMMARY:Partner Event: OUR SHORE: The Nature-based Shoreline Stabilization Toolkit
DESCRIPTION:John Maclaine of the Maine Department of Environmental Protection will share insights into nature-based solutions that can improve shorelines and protect against erosion. \nOver the last few years\, the Maine Department of Environmental Protection and Maine Climate and Science Information Exchange at the University of Maine have been partnering with natural resource agency staff\, university faculty\, municipal officials\, and design professionals to develop “O.U.R. S.H.O.R.E.” OUR SHORE is intended to provide guidance and training for using nature-based tools to protect against shoreline erosion\, while preserving and restoring natural functions to these important areas. OUR SHORE is a method of comparing options for shoreline stabilization so landowners\, contractors\, designers\, and others can customize solutions for shoreline erosion in a manner that preserves or improves shoreline habitat\, functions\, and long-term resilience. \nThe OUR SHORE approach relies on targeting the contributing sources of erosion and instability to select and combine tools that will address these causes using the least intervention necessary while using natural\, biodegradable or living materials. The guidance provides techniques and considerations to include habitat and shoreline functions into the design of any project\, even when riprap is used\, so the outcome over time is a naturalized and more resilient shoreline. \nJohn Maclaine coordinates Maine DEP’s Nonpoint Source Training Center and the Municipal Stream Crossing Grants Program. For over 20 years\, John has used his background in wildlife ecology and construction to advise various Maine nonprofit organizations and state agencies on land use guidance\, technical assistance\, project planning\, support\, and design from a water-quality and habitat-improvement perspective. His work with the Center focuses on providing training\, technical assistance\, and other resources to reduce the amount of non-point source pollution that could impact the quality of Maine’s water. \nThis lecture is the second in a three part series\, From Forests to Faucets\, brought to you by the Boothbay Region Clean Drinking Water Initiative. This series is free to the public. Participants do not need to attend all sessions (each session stands alone and participants can attend as many or few as they choose). Light refreshments will be served. For more information\, please contact Bailey Charron at bcharron@bbrlt.org

SUMMARY:Event Full: The State of Maine Loons
DESCRIPTION:**** This event is full. Please consider joining us for another program. **** Join us for an engaging presentation by Nick Lund\, Maine Audubon’s Network and Outreach Manager\, as we explore the fascinating world of the Common Loon. A Maine native and renowned birder\, Nick is well-known for his entertaining and insightful writing in publications like Audubon\, Slate\, Down East\, and National Geographic\, as well as his popular online presence at “The Birdist.” \nThe Common Loon\, with its haunting calls and striking appearance\, is a symbol of Maine summers. But how much do you really know about this iconic bird? Do loons migrate? What do they eat? How long do they live? Why are they important\, and how many are there? \nIn this program\, Nick will take an in-depth look at the physiology and habits of the Common Loon\, revealing how its unique body is perfectly adapted for underwater hunting and the seasonal rhythms that bring it to Maine’s lakes. He will also discuss the threats loons face and the ongoing efforts to protect them. \nFor more than 35 years\, Maine Audubon has been a leader in studying loon populations\, identifying causes of loon mortality\, and advocating for policies to ensure their survival. Come learn how these efforts help preserve the loon’s place in Maine’s natural heritage\, ensuring that their calls continue to echo across our lakes for generations to come. \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.

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.
