MOONLIGHT NATURE WALK AT FERNALD’S NECK PRESERVE

Lincolnville, Maine - Coastal Mountains Land Trust and the Knox-Lincoln Soil & Water Conservation District (KLSWCD) will co-host a moonlight nature walk on Tuesday, August 28 from 7:00 – 8:30pm at Fernald’s Neck Preserve in Lincolnville. The outing is open to the public and free of charge; no advance registration is necessary. Participants should dress for an outdoor exploration and come prepared with a flashlight and bug repellent.

Hildy Ellis, District Coordinator for KLSWCD, will lead this exploratory hands-on workshop for nature lovers of all ages to experience the transition from day to evening. Using eyes and ears, the group will venture through fields and forest in search of late summer plants and critters and learn how they interact in nature.

Ellis is a horticulturist and environmental educator who has led programs on conservation landscaping, invasive plants, and ecology. She has worked with KLSWCD as the District Coordinator for two years.
