Location: Knight’s Pond Preserve, Cumberland

Curriculum: Explore the fascinating world of ferns at Knight's Pond! We'll cover some basics of learning to identify several different ferns, some of their (very ancient) history, and their unique reproductive cycle, all while enjoying the beauty of Knight's Pond Preserve. The walk will largely be on level ground, some a bit rooty, and will not exceed a mile in length.

Naturalist: Sukie Curtis and Mary Brandes

Rain or Shine | No Cost Event

Get Out! Nature Walks

These Get Out! Nature Walks are volunteer-led regular trips with trained master naturalists. Join us for a well-planned, no cost, guided adventure. Monthly on the fourth Wednesday; always free; rain, snow, or shine. Jointly offered by both CCLT and the Royal River Conservation Trust, the walks take place at preserves in the towns of Chebeague Island, Cumberland, Yarmouth, North Yarmouth, Pownal, New Gloucester, and Durham. Our curriculum is targeted at adults and engaged youth. Because the purpose is nature observation, we ask that dogs do not join us. Email us with any questions.
