STAR GAZING ON BEECH HILL

Camden, Maine - Coastal Mountains Land Trust and the Camden Public Library team up to celebrate the full moon and spring stars on Wednesday, April 16 from 6:30 to 8:00 PM at Beech Hill Preserve in Rockport. Land Trust staff will open Beech Nut, the historic sod-roofed stone hut on top of Beech Hill preserve, for this special evening open house. Miss Amy, children's librarian at the Camden Public Library, will read star stories in the hut at 7:00 PM, and the library's circulating telescope will be on hand to view the full moon up close. Be sure to bring warm layers and a flashlight to help guide your way up and down the 1-mile trail.

Coastal Mountains Land Trust owns and manages Beech Hill Preserve and completed rehabilitation of the historic building from its foundation to its sod roof in November of 2007. The Land Trust has worked since 1986 to permanently conserve land to benefit the natural and human communities of western Penobscot Bay, and has protected over 9,300 acres in the region for their natural, scenic and public recreation resources.
