Join Sheepscot Valley Conservation Association for a walk along the trails of the Griggs Preserve in Newcastle Thursday, July 17 at 9 a.m. Maine Master Naturalist Kit Pfeiffer will lead the walk helping participants interpret the natural world and signs of past human history. Kit leads walks for people of all ages, and works with groups of Whitefield students during the school year, sharing her enthusiasm and knowledge.

The Griggs family donated the Preserve to SVCA in 1980 along with several conservation easements on other nearby properties. This 56 acre Preserve consists of mixed deciduous and coniferous forest and borders the Sheepscot River. The easy walk will follow the White trail, a 1.5 mile loop along the river, through the uplands and back to the parking area. All ages are welcome. Participants will meet at the Kiosk just down the Trails End Road on the left.
