Summer Walks and Talks: Crooked Farm Preserve
September 3, 2021 @ 3:00 pm - 5:00 pm
FreeExplore spruce woods along the Pemaquid River
Originally scheduled for August 13, this event was rescheduled for September 3.
Join naturalist Sarah Gladu for a guided hike along the peaceful trails at Crooked Farm. Wildlife is abundant in this varied habitat, making it a great spot to look for tracks and signs. We will stop at several locations along the way to examine some of the smallest plants and animals (hand-lenses will be provided, or you may bring your own.)
Crooked Farm Preserve is open to the public for walking, boating, hunting and fishing with nearly 130 acres of forest, wetlands, and open fields, complete with high knolls and ravines. Its gravel streambeds are spawning habitat for game fish, and its wetlands provide edge habitat favored by moose, white-tailed deer, mink, raccoon, fisher, fox, and otter.
In addition to its wildlife and open space values, Crooked Farm Preserve features about 1.25 miles of Pemaquid River shorefront. Access to both Boyd Pond and the Pemaquid River make this preserve perfect for land and water lovers.
We love dogs, but ask that you leave them at home for this program.
