One wonderful thing about nature is that you can walk the same path many times and never run out of things to learn. This fall, we are going to do just that. The South Portland Land Trust is teaming up with our Parks department to take you on a hike around Hinckley Park four times, each through a different expert’s eyes. Once a month we will take a path that so many of us know already, but try to look at it in a new light and notice things that we otherwise wouldn’t have. Participants are encouraged to attend as many of the hikes as they can. This is a free program, but you are welcome to make a donation to the organization of each hike-leader.


Dates:
  • September 8th: A Binocular View of Hinckley: Birding Basics- Learn about the birds that call Hinckley ‘home’. Bring your own binoculars or borrow a pair of ours, with Vice-president and Treasurer of the South Portland Land Trust, retired biology professor and long-time birder, Karen Talentino.
  • October 13th: Photographing Nature- how to take nature photos on your smart phone, with photographer, James Dillon
  • November 10th: A Walk Through Geologic Time: from the distant past to the foreseeable future, with Henry Berry of the Maine Geologic Survey
  • December 8th: Protecting & Restoring South Portland’s Water Resources, with South Portland’s stormwater program coordinator, Fred Dillon
