Join Naturalist Sarah Gladu and fellow nature enthusiasts for a gentle hike at Plummer Point Preserve in South Bristol. Plummer Point is a local favorite, with its lovely coastal spruce forest and stunning views of the Damariscotta River, Seal Cove, and nearby islands. We'll listen for the songs of woodland birds such as winter wren and hermit thrush, look for basking seals, and explore the shoreline.
