July 24, 2024 | 8:00 am - 9:30 am
Location: Indian Point, Chebeague Island
Curriculum: Join us at Indian Point on Chebeague Island before the beachgoers arrive to learn about the shorebirds that frequent this preserve. The Chebeague Climate Action Team will be on hand to discuss the impacts of sea level rise and extreme weather events on this property as well, including how they might affect the piping plover population. Added bonus: refreshments provided at the boathouse! Please bring binoculars if you have them.
Transportation: If you are interested in joining us from the mainland and need transportation from the CTC ferry that leaves from Cousin’s Island, you will need to take the 6:45 am boat that arrives on the island at 7:00 am. We can give you a ride down to Indian Point and you will have some time to explore the beach before the event starts. We can give you a ride back to get on the 10:00 ferry back to the mainland. If you have a bike you can bring over, that is an easy way to get to the Point independently (about a three-mile ride). If you would like a ride from the ferry at 7:00 am please email info@ccltmaine.org with “Request for Island Transportation on 7/24” in the subject line.
Guides: Bev Johnson, Tineka Breed, & Maya Shyevitch

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.
