Have you ever wondered what knot is best for tying a tarp to a tree during a camping trip or how best to keep the canoe from leaving and yet be able to untie it a week later?

Get instruction from outdoorsman Steve Spencer at the Damariscotta River Association on Jan. 29.

The class starts at 5:30 p.m. and goes until 6:30. The class is open to everyone ages nine and up.

The group will practice tying the double half-hitch, square, bowline, clove hitch, butterfly and a timber hitch knots.

Pre-registration is required by Jan. 27. The fee for the class is $5 for non-members and members get in free.
