Get Out! Nature Walk: Shorebirds and Coastal Habitats

SPECIAL PARKING: For this event only, drive to the very end of Pemasong Lane in Yarmouth. Go past RRCT’s 4-car parking lot on Pemasong Lane, through the stone gates marked “Private Way”, and drive slowly to the very end of the road. At the end of Pemasong Lane, turn right, and the service gate will be open. Go through the gate and park in the grassy area. RRCT staff will be there to direct you. Please respect all speed limits on this private road.

Curriculum:  Walk around this shady 1-mile loop trail as we explore the quiet 23-acre Littlejohn Island Preserve. We'll walk through towering red oak trees and with breathtaking ocean-front view of Casco Bay, observing the natural history and beauty that abounds. We'll pause to observe and identify the many varieties of ferns and understory plants. Bring binoculars if you have them because it is highly likely we will see many ducks, and maybe an eagle or osprey!

Naturalists: Karen Massey

Get Out! Nature Walks are volunteer-led regular trips with trained master naturalists. Join us for a well-planned, no cost, guided adventure. Monthly on the fourth Wednesday; always free; rain, snow, or shine. Jointly offered by both Chebeague & Cumberland Land Trust and Royal River Conservation Trust, the walks take place at preserves in the towns of Chebeague Island, Cumberland, Yarmouth, North Yarmouth, Pownal, New Gloucester, and Durham. Our curriculum is targeted at adults and engaged youth. Because the purpose is nature observation, we ask that dogs do not join us. Email CCLT with any questions.
