Join Maine Master Naturalist volunteers Jane Harrison and Kit Pfeiffer for a morning walk through mixed woods and along the Sheepscot River to discover the flora and fauna that make the Salmon Preserve their home. Come ready to spot and learn about late summer migrating birds, spore-ripened  ferns, fall fungi or whatever captures your attention. Serendipity is the name of the game!

Whitefield Salmon Preserve consists of two connecting trails, one along the Sheepscot River and the other along the West Branch of the Sheepscot River. This preserve proves 4,000 feet of prime Atlantic salmon rearing and spawning habitat. Look along the water's edge and you might see beavers, frogs, turtles or osprey and bald eagles fishing along the river.

Registration is encouraged but walk-ins are welcome. Well-behaved pets that get along with others are welcome. Wear sturdy hiking shoes and bring water.

While there is no age limit for this program, children under 18 should be accompanies by an adult.
