SUMMARY:Story Trail Walk: Winter Sleep
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 book is  “Winter Sleep: A Hibernation Story” written by Sean Taylor and Alex Morss and illustrated by Cinyee Chiu. \nIn this cozy story\, follow a child and his grandma through a winter landscape to explore how the Earth goes to sleep for winter. Spot the sleeping animals as the tale unfolds\, then learn about their hibernation habits from the information pages at the end. In each cutaway scene\, see what the child cannot—that underground below his feet are dens with sleeping creatures\, and within the hollow trunks of trees\, animals are nesting. After the story\, annotated illustrations explain the hibernation facts for each animal and what they will do when they wake up for spring. \nThe story trail at Oak Point Farm is open year-round during daylight hours\, with a new book posted every few weeks. Current book titles and dates will be updated on our website. \n

SUMMARY:Self-Guided Winter Tree Identification Walk
DESCRIPTION:From bark to twigs to a tree silhouette against a cold winter sky\, this is the perfect time to go into the woods and observe and learn tree identification. This self-guided one mile walk will focus on the non-leaf characteristics used to identify tree species including bark patterns and textures\, leaf buds and scars\, tree shapes\, and habitat. Along the wooded trail that ends with views of the Cross River\, hikers will find over a dozen different tree species native to our area.  Pick up the winter tree identification pamphlet at the Cross River Preserve parking lot kiosk and follow the trail to find the individually marked trees described within. The trail is open anytime during daylight hours at Cross River Preserve. Winter hiking conditions are present so sturdy boots with traction devices are recommended.

SUMMARY:Biomimicry Talk with Chewonki
DESCRIPTION:Many of the engineering challenges facing humans today are similar to difficulties that exist in the natural world. Plants and animals have evolved through generations of successes and failures resulting in remarkable adaptations to overcome these challenges. Join us as we host the Chewonki Traveling Natural History program and explore the ways engineers have taken advantage of nature’s bright ideas through biomimicry. During this presentation\, we will meet some live animals that help draw comparisons between human-made products and animal adaptations. As we look for creative solutions to future problems\, perhaps we can find inspiration by observing nature in our own backyard! \nSpace is limited for this free event and registration is required by filling out the form below: \n\n	Notice: JavaScript is required for this content.\nNo Fields Found.

SUMMARY:Story Trail Walk: Whose Tracks Are These?
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 book is  “Whose Tracks Are These” written by Jim Nail and illustrated by Hyla Skudder. \nA series of clues and striking illustrations detail how to identify a variety of paw prints found in the woodlands. Learn about many familiar forest animals\, their habitats\, and how to spot their tracks during your forest adventures! Then test your new track knowledge by playing the matching game contained within. \nThe story trail at Oak Point Farm is open year-round during daylight hours\, with a new book posted every few weeks. Current book titles and dates will be updated on our website. \n

SUMMARY:Partner Event: From Forests to Faucets: Watersheds 101
DESCRIPTION:From Maine to California\, communities across America struggle to provide clean drinking water to their residents. In contrast\, the Boothbay region has a matchless opportunity to preserve our public drinking water supplies before we have a problem. The solution is both the simplest and least expensive way possible: if we can conserve enough of the undeveloped forest in our public water sources’ watersheds\, the watersheds can continue to act as natural filters that clean water before it reaches the reservoirs. \nThe first lecture in this three part series\, titled Watershed 101\, will be led by Rebecca Jacobs of Knox-Lincoln County Soil and Water Conservation District. This forum will provide a basic understanding of how watersheds work and why human activities within watersheds are critical to protecting water quality. Although our emphasis is on Adams Pond and Knickerbocker Lake\, this session is relevant to all. We all live in a watershed!  All sessions are 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 Jenn Cusick at cleandrinkingwater@bbrlt.org.
