The popularity of Nordic skating (AKA: wild ice skating) has increased dramatically in recent years and for excellent reasons. There may be no better way to cruise the shoreline of a Maine lake than while gliding along on a pair of Nordic skates. The long detachable blades are designed for long distance skating, enabling Nordic skaters to readily travel tens of miles during a single outing on natural/wild ice with comparatively little effort. If you are already comfortable on figure or hockey skates, you will likely have little difficulty making the transition to Nordic skates.

To safely enjoy Nordic skating, it is necessary to develop an understanding of the characteristics of natural ice and the safety equipment skaters must always carry and know how to use.

This class teaches you about the basic skills to safely enjoy Maine's lakes and ponds throughout the winter months.

This course consists of two 90-minute meetings in the classroom at Waterville High School and one 4-hour class held outside on some "wild ice". The outdoor class date will be scheduled in class and held sometime in November or December depending on frozen water conditions. 

The classroom sessions will include detailed discussions of all the equipment required to get out on wild ice and the characteristics and behavior of wild ice and how Maine's ever-changing weather creates the conditions for safe lake skating throughout the winter months. Participants will also learn how to remotely assess ice conditions with up-to-date satellite imagery and social media sites dedicated to sharing ice conditions with like-minded folks. Limit 20 students.

This class will teach you how you can grow and harvest edible, native plants. David Spahr installed a public, edible landscape across from the town hall in Washington, Maine, in June of 2014. The intention of this edible landscape is to educate and feed people. Wild bees support the pollination and are supported by the many wild local natives. Varieties include peaches, serviceberries, American plum, beach plum, American chestnut, shagbark hickory, highbush blueberries, raspberries, black raspberries, huckleberries, thimbleberries, strawberries, cranberries,raisin Viburnums, Sedum purpureum, violets, peppermint, garlic, day lily, Rosa rugosa, chives, rhubarb, Jerusalem artichoke and others. David has been farming wild, native plants for many years. His PowerPoint will show the native plants he farms with while he provides a discussion of the ecological implications.
