Naturalist Workshop Series- Solstice Paddle
Celebrate summer solstice with a paddle on Little Dyer Pond at Hidden Valley Nature Center.
Walk the 1.4 miles down to the pond, stopping to check out the beaver dam and lodge on Haybale Pond. At the waterfront, learn some basic canoe skills before launching into the pond. As a group we will paddle around Little Dyer Pond checking out beaver works, animal habitats and no name island. What better way to celebrate the longest day of the year then on the water!
All experience levels and ages are welcome. Please wear comfortable hiking shoes for the walk to the pond and bring sandals or water shoes that you don’t mind getting wet for the paddle. Be prepared for all weather, bugs and sun. If you own a personal floatation devise please bring it, as well as water and snacks.
Participation is free, but registration is required.
Wednesday Wander
Join naturalist Susan Cottle for a fern walk at Stetser Preserve in Jefferson. Learn about these vascular spore producing plants as you follow the trail along an unnamed perennial stream to a small pond. Gain confidence in identifying multiple varieties of ferns, how they reproduce, where they like to grow, and how to tell them apart. There's a lot to appreciate about ferns.
The Stetser Preserve is a wooded upland forest particularly rich in wildlife diversity because it is located within a 7,000-acre tract of roadless habitat. The trails wind through hilly woods and old logging trails and include a short spur trail that leads to a view of the property's beautiful pond.
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.
Naturalist Workshop Series - Understanding Trees
Join naturalist Susan Cottle for a walk and learn workshop on trees at West Branch Preserve in Somerville!
Gain a better understanding of the integral role trees play in the ecology of a forest. Learn to identify coniferous and deciduous varieties by their leaf and needle structures, branching forms, and unique bark. Spend the morning immersed in the forest gaining new perspective on the trees we are surrounded by in Maine.
West Branch Preserve includes steeply sloping terrain as well as flat and wide trails along the West Branch Stream where cascading pools of water flow through a hemlock-lined ravine to the beaver dams and meadows at the base of Haskell Hill. Protecting this land helps ensure a lengthy section of the West Branch of the Davis Stream remains clean & cool for spawning fish and helps keep the waters of Damariscotta Lake cleaner.
This is an all-ages event— interested children are welcome with adult supervision.
Full Moon Paddle
Enjoy an evening illuminated by the glow of the full Buck Moon.
Discover a new way of being outside, when sounds become more pronounced and sight takes a backseat to our other senses.
Hike the 1 mile to the pond and our canoes. With a little luck, the full moon will be rising on the far shore as we paddle out into the still, open, pond. The group will take moments of silence to listen for owls, loons and beaver tail slaps, chat as we paddle and revel in the brightness of earth's closest celestial friend.
Make sure you are wearing water-proof or quick-dry clothing; it’s always a good idea to bring layers (a windbreaker or fleece are great options). Try to avoid both cotton and denim as they do not keep you warm once wet and do not dry quickly. Make sure you have sturdy shoes that you don’t mind getting wet and bring your own water bottle. We should be on the water no longer than an hour and a half, and land at the same location we launched from.
All equipment is provided.
Be sure to bring bug repellent and a headlamp.
Children under 16 must be accompanied by an adult.
This program is likely to run at least 2.5 hours.
Rain date: July 11

Naturalist Workshop Series
Join us for ecology exploration at one of Midcoast Conservancy’s 25 diverse preserves.
Search for animal tracks in the snow, learn how Maine mammals move, and discover their hidden habitats. Venture to the pond to check out a beaver lodge and talk about the amazing adaptations of this busy builder. Bring your binoculars to focus on birds and learn to identify those you spy. Examine mosses and lichens of all kinds on rocks, trees, and the forest floor. Delve into the role mushrooms play in the balance of the forest, how they grow, and what kinds flourish locally. Venture to a vernal pool to explore what lies beneath the surface and the importance of these seasonal wetlands. Find a quiet spot under a special tree to sketch the bark or write the feelings of the forest.
Each workshop will offer a different topic to be explored in depth, led by a naturalist but guided by the interests of the group. Some weeks will be at Hidden Valley Nature Center while other weeks walks will take place at one of Midcoast Conservancy’s 25 diverse preserves.

Wednesday Wander
Join naturalist Susan Cottle for a walk of spring discovery along the Sheepscot River at Palermo Preserve. May brings a myriad of changes to the woods including the blooming of spring ephemeral wildflowers, new growth on trees, and emerging ferns, mosses, and lichens.
The group will venture down through the forest to the river, observing the wonders of spring progressing in the forest and the natural features of the river that support one of the most important stretches of salmon habitat in the Sheepscot River watershed. The undercut banks, overhanging vegetation, and submerged logs and rocks in the river create sheltered pools which provide resting places for salmon as they travel to and from their spawning grounds.
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.

Naturalist Workshop Series: vernal pools
Yay! It’s Vernal Pool season!
Of all the interesting ways to observe the advance of spring, vernal pools are one of the most fascinating. A vernal pool is a temporary woodland pond or small body of water, often overlooked, which plays a central role in the life cycle of many amphibians and turtles and the organisms that rely on them. They have important implications and impacts on local wildlife, outdoor recreation, and forestry operations. We invite anyone to come and learn why vernal pools are so important to protecting Maine’s woodlands.
Participants will learn about the species of frog, turtle, and salamander that rely on vernal pools; learn to identify and count egg masses; and learn about the complex dynamics that make vernal pools so fascinating.
This is an all-ages event—children are welcome with adult supervision. During the event, we will walk approximately 1.5 miles on forest trails, pausing to visit a number of vernal pools.
