SUMMARY:Story Trail: Ruby's Birds
DESCRIPTION:Read a family friendly book while walking through the spring 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 “Ruby’s Birds” by Mya Thompson with illustrations by Claudia Dávila. \nRuby is a plucky young girl who uncovers the wild side of her city neighborhood with the help of a grown-up friend. When Ruby realizes there are amazing birds right in her neighborhood\, her imagination takes flight. Birders have a name for the moment they get hooked―they call it their spark moment. This is the story of Ruby’s spark moment\, in her very own words. As you walk you will have the opportunity to find birds in the pages of the story and along the trail.

SUMMARY:Story Trail: Roxaboxen
DESCRIPTION:Read a family friendly book while walking through the spring 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 classic read aloud book “Roxaboxen” by Alice McLerran with illustrations by Caldecott Medal-winning illustrator Barbara Cooney. \nRoxaboxen celebrates the imagination of children who\, no matter the time or place\, can create whole worlds out of what they find around them–here\, rocks and boxes\, cacti and sand. Marian and her friends find a special place in the desert where in time-honored fashion\, they play the games that will prepare them for their grown-up lives. They make houses\, drive pretend cars\, bake bread\, ride stick ponies\, fight their wars and bury their dead. Drawn from her mother’s reminiscences\, McLerran’s gentle text is both particular and universal\, as she fondly tells this evocative story.

SUMMARY:Salamanders and Algae: From Roommates to Intimate Partners
DESCRIPTION:Each spring the vernal pools throughout our region host a flurry of activity just below the surface. Amphibians meet in these locations to reproduce\, leaving behind their eggs and offspring. Dr. John Burns of Bigelow Laboratory for Ocean Sciences visits our local vernal pools to study the symbiotic relationship between algae and spotted salamander eggs and larva. Join us to learn about his work through an online presentation on Friday April 30th at 10 AM hosted by the Boothbay Region Land Trust. Yellow spotted salamanders migrate en masse to vernal pools to mate and lay eggs\, which swell to form a dense jelly mass holding around 100 embryos each. These eggs and embryos are colonized by a tiny green alga\, which have adapted to one another to both benefit from this arrangement. Alga invades the baby salamander tissues and cells forming the only known such association in any vertebrate. In this talk\, Burns will speak about the salamander-alga association and discuss the context of why it is currently under intense scrutiny. The uniqueness of the interaction has implications for the development of our own adaptive immune systems. John Burns is a senior research scientist working at the Bigelow Laboratory for Ocean Sciences. He received his bachelor’s degree in geoscience from Franklin and Marshall College in Lancaster\, Pennsylvania\, and a master’s and Ph.D. in molecular biology from New York University. He spent five years broadening his horizons working on evolutionary biology and symbioses involving protists and algae at the American Museum of Natural History in New York before starting his own research group in Maine. Today he continues to work on symbiotic interactions\, how DNA codes the shapes of cells\, and how genetic patterns influence microbe functions in the world’s oceans.
