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: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: Water Quality
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. \nFor the second lecture in our series\, Dr. Rachel Sipler\, director of the Water Health and Humans Initiative and Senior Research Scientist\, Bigelow Laboratory for Ocean Sciences\, will lead a session that explores what we know about Adams Pond and Knickerbocker Lake water quality\, factors that influence water quality\, and lake monitoring programs. 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.

SUMMARY:Event Full: Migration: Preparation\, Rumination\, and Desperation
DESCRIPTION:***This event is currently at capacity and we have started a waiting list. Please email your contact information to thall@bbrlt.org to be added to the waiting list*** \nSpring migration is the most exciting time for Maine birders. Temperatures are warming\, and billions of birds are winging their way north. Soon the state will be filled with warblers\, vireos\, waterfowl\, raptors\, and many more. Will you be ready? This presentation from Maine Audubon Advocacy and Outreach Manager Nick Lund discusses the science of migration and helps birders prepare to find and identify Maine’s new spring arrivals. \nThis free event is part of BRLT’s three-part Spring Guest Speaker Series sponsored by Tindal & Callahan Real Estate. This talk will take place inside the farmhouse at BRLT’s Oak Point Farm and has limited space. \n  \n \n  \n  \n
