Location: Farwell Forest. Please park at the end of Greely Rd. Extension, being sure not to block the driveway.

Curriculum: We'll look for animal tracks and scat in this lovely stretch of woods. We'll walk through the hardwoods looking for evidence of fisher, porcupine, fox, coyote, ermine, red squirrel, mouse, and deer. We can decide whether to walk the loop through the pine forest further on in hopes of more tracks, or we can go slowly to examine winter up close.

Depending on snow conditions, consider wearing traction devices and bringing poles. Park at the end of Greely Road Extension, being sure not to block the driveway. If this area fills, we can shuttle people from the main Knight’s Pond lot just down the road. Please arrive a bit early to sort out parking.

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.
