Upcoming Programs

Saturday, February 16, at 10:00 am.
Winter Adventure - GREAT MAINE OUTDOORS WEEK
Meet at the cul-de-sac at the end of Fox Hollow Lane. Bring snowshoes or skis and ski poles depending on snow depth. If conditions permit, we’ll explore out onto Penjajawoc Marsh, where you get a 360-degree view of BLT preserves (we’ll bring a map to orient you). If rain and thaws have kept the Marsh too soft, we’ll explore tracks on the Grasslands and along its edges. Bring your favorite energy bar and we’ll supply the cocoa. Check our website, Facebook or outgoing phone message if road conditions look iffy. Thanks for your RSVP.
