Join Maine Master Naturalist and Midcoast Conservancy board member Susan Cottle for an exploration of the varied natural communities at Burkett Mills Preserve.
Hike this lovely preserve at a slow pace that allows the group to take in the changing environments. From a wet lowland bog that supports moisture loving mosses to pitch pine stands that are happy with dry conditions, this preserve offers ever varying landscapes to be discovered along the trail.
Learn how these different environs create varied natural communities of wildlife and plant diversity. Come with your curiosity and let the surroundings prompt new questions and discussions.
Although we will hike at a slow pace, be aware that there is moderately difficult terrain along this trail. Come prepared in sturdy hiking shoes and bring bug protection, water and snacks. Please note, the road to Burkett Mills is narrow and dirt with some potholes.
While this is a free event, we appreciate your registration which is essential for our planning.
All are welcome! Participants under 16 must be accompanied by an adult.
