Friends of Sears Island will host a winter ecology walk on Saturday, March 17th from 10am-noon. Enjoy a late winter walk on Sears Island with Maine Master Naturalist Cyrene Slegona, while searching for animal tracks in the snow, signs of spring, and observing the ever-changing beauty of the island.
This event is free and open to the public. Sears Island is on Sears Island Road off Route 1 just east of Searsport. Participants should park along the causeway at the end of the road and meet at the island gate by 10am. Snowshoes and walking sticks are encouraged but not necessary. Please wear footwear and outdoor gear appropriate for winter hiking. Bring binoculars if desired, as well as water and a snack. Please no pets on guided walks. In the event of inclement weather, this event will be cancelled.
