Land Trust Announces Star Gazing at Deer Foot Farm‏

Rockland, Maine - Pete Kalajian, president of the Central Maine Astronomical Society, will lead a naked eye constellation observation. Attendees will view whatever celestial objects the sky conditions will allow.

The event will be at Deer Foot Farm on Appleton Ridge starting at 8 pm, and please bring a towel or blanket for lying down in the grass.

This event is part of the Georges River Land Trust’s Walks and Talks, a series of events that provides interesting topics to explore, a variety of adventures and activities for people of all ages, and are free and open to the public.
