Location: Farwell Forest, Cumberland. Please park at the very end of Greely Road Extension if there is room and be sure not to block driveways to houses. Since parking is limited, please carpool if possible. If this small parking area fills, we can shuttle some people from the main Knight’s Pond parking lot.
Curriculum: Animal signs and tracking/trailing
Have you been seeing animal tracks in the snow and been curious about what critter made them? Join us and a Maine Master Naturalist to explore this property adjacent to Knight’s Pond to learn how to identify signs of wildlife in our local forests. The snow should give us good opportunities to investigate animal tracks, trails, burrows, and other indicators of wild creatures.
“Never forget the trail, look ever for the track in the snow; it is the priceless, unimpeachable record of the creature’s life and thought, in the oldest writing known on the earth.” ~Ernest Thompson Seton
Naturalist: Karen Bruder

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.
