Location: Mémak Preserve, No. Yarmouth

Curriculum: Baby it’s cold outside, but it’s the perfect time to observe trees! They are the largest of the perennial plants and can perform some real magic in their adaptations to endure a long and cold winter.  Trees are in their period of winter dormancy, the plant version of winter hibernation. Deciduous trees might be without their leaves, but we’ll learn other ways to identify them. We’ll also learn about the different species of conifers abundant in these woods.

Naturalists: Margaret Reimann, Mary Brandes

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.
