Coming up at Hidden Valley Nature Center
Wild edible plant walk
Sunday, Nov. 11, 1 to 3 p.m. – Take a walk with Maine Master Naturalist volunteer Jason Chandler as we explore the landscape of Hidden Valley Nature Center for wild edible plants. Possible finds include pine, acorns, cattails, Solomon's seal, wild carrot, and others. A $5 donation is suggested.
Guided naturalist walks
Friday, Nov. 16, 10 a.m. to noon – Join several Maine Master Naturalist graduates as they explore the trails at Hidden Valley Nature Center for lichens, those unique organisms consisting of a symbiotic relationship between a fungus and alga, a photosynthetic partner. A $5 donation is suggested.
Sunday, Nov. 25, 1 to 3 p.m. – Chandler will lead a walk to explore the landscape of Hidden Valley Nature Center with an eye to the past. What does a large basal scar on a 100 year-old oak tree tell us? What evidence of fire might we uncover? When and how was this property logged? Investigate these questions and many more and walk away with tools to assess any northeastern forest. A $5 donation is suggested.
The Hidden Valley Nature Center is located at 131 Egypt Road in Jefferson. For more information, visit www.hvnc.org, call 586-6752, or email gary@hvnc.org.
