Organizations Filed Purposes:
To provide and promote a natural environment with a wide range of nature-based learning opportunities interconnected with/by ever-changing public and school focused programs, field trips, events and exhibits. We focus on interactive, creative and hands-on resources and teaching with a focus on combining healthy outdoor activity, community engagement and an appreciation of the role nature plays in all of our lives with the fun of learning. We believe that everyone has a natural ability to understand the nature of our world through their own eyes and by using their own intellect, and this guides everything we do. All of this takes place on our 224 acre preserve with six miles of trails, the second longest wetland boardwalk in Maine, twenty botanical collections from around the world and Maine's largest publicly accessible nature inspired sculpture exhibit.
Education programs available: We offer a wide variety of affordable educational programs, field trips, lectures and workshops for all ages and organized school groups. Topics include but are not limited to tree identification, pond ecology, wetlands, wildlife habitat, seed dispersal, geocaching, bird identification and ecology.
