Family Hike at Schoolhouse Pond Preserve
From 10 – 11 am on the second Saturday of each month, all families are invited to join Boothbay Region Land Trust’s Environmental Educator Tracey "Turtle" Hall on a kid-friendly hike. These outings are a great way to meet other families in the area or catch up with old friends. The pace of the walk will allow plenty of time to discover and observe the natural world and special emphasis made on the seasonal changes that occur from month to month.  Family hikes will average one mile in length and be about one hour in duration. The walks will occur rain or shine, and will only be cancelled in dangerous weather conditions. Registration is not required, just meet at the trailhead at Schoolhouse Pond Preserve on Barter’s Island.  For more information, contact Tracey Hall at thall@bbrlt.org.

Yule Log Hike at Penny Lake Preserve
From 10 – 11:30 am, celebrate the upcoming Winter Solstice at BRLT’s Penny Lake Preserve while gathering natural items for a Yule Log. Then head to the BRLT office to create your own Yule Log! The Yule Log has long been a tradition tied to the winter solstice. Since this is the darkest time of the year, the burning of the log represents the sun and celebrates the day getting longer after the solstice. The log also brings good luck to the household. What a great Christmas gift! For more information contact Environmental Educator Tracey Hall at thall@bbrlt.org or call the office at 633-4818.
