Join Maine Master Naturalists Samaa Abdurraqib and Elizabeth Walker at Geele Preserve to explore the ecology of the saltmarsh. Look for the characteristic zonation found in marshes, identify common plants and animals, and discuss their unique adaptations for living in this dynamic habitat.
Geele Preserve offers beautiful trails along the shore of the Eastern Branch of Broad Cove, on the Medomak River. Salt marshes and mudflats line the shore, providing homes to many species of animals and plants. Rich in birdlife, some species live here year round while others, such as the great blue heron, visit seasonally. Don’t miss this opportunity to visit this unique preserve with two highly knowledgeable guides.
This is an all-ages event— interested children are welcome with adult supervision.
