July 16, 2025 | 8:30 - 9:45 am
Location: Indian Point, Chebeague Island
Curriculum: Join us and Maine Audubon’s Laura Zitske at Indian Point on Chebeague Island to learn about the shorebirds and the shoreland restoration project on this preserve. We may even have a chance to see the piping plovers who have been nesting in this area for the past two years! 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 8:00 am boat that arrives on the island at 8:15 am. We can give you a ride down to Indian Point and 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 please email info@ccltmaine.org with “Request for Island Transportation on 7/17” in the subject line.
Guide: Laura Zitske, Wildlife Ecologist, Coastal Birds Project Director

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.
