Coastal Rivers will be celebrating Earth Day on Saturday, April 23 with family fun and exploration at Coastal Rivers Salt Bay Farm, 110 Belvedere Road, Damariscotta.

Between 10 a.m. and 3 p.m., there will be a variety of family friendly activities to choose from, including a self-guided spring nature walk around the marsh, hourly children’s book readings with Nature Center volunteers, owl pellets to dissect, marsh mucking with nets and buckets, nature-inspired arts and crafts, field games, and more.

There are several picnic tables at the Nature Center for families wishing to bring a picnic lunch. Hot dogs, snacks and drinks will be available at no cost while supplies last. Boots are recommended for those interested in exploring the marsh.

This event is free of charge, thanks to member support and Coastal Rivers volunteers. No registration is required.
