Early Winter Welcoming Forest Walk
with Laura Grover, Old Orchard Beach/Saco Adult Education
$15
When's the last time you spent time in the woods in early winter? What gifts does the forest give us when the flowers are asleep and the animals are curled in their dens? Come and look closely at what is still alive and what is sleeping, and learn about local ecology with plant and bird hobbyist Laura Grover. Discover the treasures of the wild world on beautiful Wabanaki land at Clifford Park in Biddeford. We will meet in the parking lot at 2 PM and take a stroll along a moderate trail with a couple of hills, rocks, and roots; and maybe a little snow or ice. Registration closes at noon on 12/6. Wear comfortable boots, with good grips if it's icy, and weather-appropriate clothing. Rain date 12/15. Note: Please communicate any accessibility concerns at registration, and Laura will contact you to discuss any needed accommodations.
Laura Grover is a plant and bird hobbyist, botanical illustrator for Fedco Seeds, and a mindfulness ambassador. She has led many plant identification and mindful foraging walks for people of all ages. She enjoys bringing people together to look closely in nature, practice mindfulness outside, and be a sensory animal in the woods.
