with Gary Bennett, Mid-Maine Regional Adult Community Education
$30
This is a beautiful, educational, & ecological tour to the farthest reaches of Messalonskee Lake aboard the Snowdrifter II--a 25' Godfrey Sanpan Limited Edition Luxury Cruiser. Students will see firsthand the invasive milfoil as it passes alongside the boat just inches below the lake surface. Learn about statewide eradication efforts while enjoying the natural beauty of Messalonskee Lake. Search for Sandhill Cranes and endangered Least Bittern and Black Tern as we travel through the 1300-acre emergent wetland known as the Messalonskee Lake Marsh. The North American Bald Eagles may make their presence known, and you will learn about the history of the area and lake. Captain Gary is a Registered Maine Guide and licensed commercial boat operator. A Rain date will be scheduled, if needed. The boat is handicap accessible for standard-size wheelchairs. Students between the ages of 10-17 years old must be accompanied by a registered parent/guardian. Bathrooms will be available on shore. Please mark your calendar and register by June 9th. There will be no refunds after Sunday, June 9th. The class requires a total of 8 students to run.
