Rockland Public Library: August 20~ Nature Talk: "Best Seashore Nature Sites: Midcoast Maine"‏

Rockland, Maine - Authors Des FitzGerald, Tony Oppersdorff, and Kyrill Schabert will narrate a slideshow nature talk: “Best Seashore Nature Sites: Midcoast Maine” covering 32 nature sites from Freeport to Searsport on Thursday, August 20 at 6:00 PM at the Rockland Public Library.

Their book, Best Seashore Nature Sites: Midcoast Maine, covers public preserves from Freeport to Searsport--with inland sites in Jefferson, Dresden, and Searsmont--that offer a wide range of experiences in a diversity of ecosystems. It is an invitation to the curious traveler to explore the unique coastal environment, to wonder at its many sights, and to walk out into the natural landscape. Also represented are several important inland sites. Maps, detailed descriptions, and hundreds of color photographs bring alive on the printed page these places of beauty, complemented by sidebar articles by the authors and contributing experts on an array of relevant natural history topics.

Following the presentation, books will be sold, with a percentage of the proceeds going to the library.
