SUMMARY:A Day in the Life of a Pond
DESCRIPTION:Ponds of all shapes and sizes support a magnificent multitude of life forms\, ranging in size from microorganisms to moose. Plants can range from single-celled algae to massive reeds. Insects\, amphibians\, fish\, birds\, mammals are all thriving and contributing to the mix. Ponds are NOT a study in ‘Survival of the Fittest.’ Every species we will see has adapted its own niche using the evolutionary principle understood as “Resource Partitioning.” \nKate Borduas is a self-described “Adult-onset” Naturalist. A native of coastal Maine\, she spent a number of years in Florida where she trained as a Florida Master Naturalist and as a nationally Certified Interpretive Guide. \nFollowing a life-long\, long-distance love affair with nature\, Kate was delighted to live the life of a naturalist full time while in Florida. She gave frequent walks and talks in Charlotte and Sarasota Counties with a specific focus on Scrub Habitat and the Endangered Florida Scrub Jay. As a naturalist and guide\, Kate is committed to sharing with others the hidden wonders of nature all around us. \nKate was the recipient of Sarasota County Parks “Volunteer of the Year” award in 2018. \nKate is now happily returned to Maine full time where her interests in native plants\, insects and birds keep her very busy. \nFor more info and to register: https://scarboroughlibrary.libcal.com/event/17199656 \nThis program is co-sponsored with our friends at Scarborough Public Library.

SUMMARY:A River Runs Through It: A 'Good News' 'Bad News' Story
DESCRIPTION:Good News: Aquatic systems need clean water to thrive. The paper/pulp industry resulted in the nation’s most polluted rivers occuring right here in Maine – The Androscoggin and Penobscott particularly.  The Clean Water Act of 1972 (Thank You\, Ed Muskie!) resulted in manufacturing changes that eliminated the worst biosolid and chemical discharge practices. Our rivers are once again full of life. \nBad News: Many chemicals are persistent and some are persistent forever. Sediments in the major river deltas are loaded with mercury and dioxins that still require remediation 60 years later.  And where river waters do run clear\, climate disruption and invasive species are wreaking havoc.  \nKate Borduas is a self-described “Adult-onset” Naturalist. A native of coastal Maine\, she spent a number of years in Florida where she trained as a Florida Master Naturalist and as a nationally Certified Interpretive Guide. \nFollowing a life-long\, long-distance love affair with nature\, Kate was delighted to live the life of a naturalist full time while in Florida.

SUMMARY:Autumn Magic in the Maine Woods
DESCRIPTION:Join Maine Master Naturalist Christie Constantine for a guided walk exploring how our forests transform in autumn. Shorter days and cooler temperatures trigger a burst of color as trees shut down chlorophyll production and prepare for dormancy. Wildlife\, too\, is busy getting ready – whether storing food\, building fat reserves\, or seeking the perfect winter den. \nWe’ll explore why leaves change color and the remarkable strategies trees\, birds\, mammals\, amphibians\, and insects use to survive the colder months ahead. From migrating birds and food-hoarding squirrels to hibernating mammals and freeze-tolerant frogs\, this walk reveals the subtle and fascinating signs of seasonal preparation unfolding all around us. \nSLT rarely cancels programs but occasionally we must\, especially in bad weather. Please check our website before heading out to a program to ensure it is still being held. \n
