SUMMARY:Women's Walk
DESCRIPTION:Women’s Walk \nCome join fellow women who enjoy the outdoors and have a desire to walk the wonderful open spaces Scarborough Land Trust has committed to preserving. Women are twice as likely as men to feel uncomfortable walking alone\, so a suggestion was made that we explore a women’s walking group or series of events. SLT volunteers will be hosting two pilot walks during October/November at area preserves to explore interest and what days/times might work best for this sort of activity. \nThese will be leisurely walks averaging 45-60 mins in length.  Much of the terrain will be flat (either dirt or grass surfaces) but expect that there will brief uphill stretches\, wood crossings for boggy areas\, and some uneven ground (rocks\, tree roots).  Trails could be wet with dew or muddy if there have been recent rains\, although we will reschedule if inclement weather is forecasted during the event itself. As always\, we recommend wearing long pants\, comfortable footwear\, and applying bug spray. Remain tick and insect aware. \nAlthough SLT properties are dog friendly\, we are asking that you not bring dogs to this event. \nWe look forward to your participation and feedback to inform our future planning! \n  \nThis is a free event\, however\, registration is encouraged. \nOctober 28th\, Pleasant Hill Preserve\, 10-11AM \nNovember 4th\, Fuller Farm\, 10-11AM

SUMMARY:Costumes and Apple Pressing
DESCRIPTION:Costumes and Apple Pressing \n\nJoin us at the library for story time\, crafts\, and apple pressing – all in costume! Kids can wear their Halloween costume and have a turn dumping apples in and cranking the press to make our own apple cider. Be sure to bring a cup for sampling. Also\, if anyone wants the pressed apple “meat” it makes a great base for homemade fruit leather and will be up for grabs!\n \nApples are donated by Brackett’s Orchard (thank you!!!) so no need to bring any. \n\n\n\nRegistration encouraged.

SUMMARY:Tour of the Night Sky
DESCRIPTION:Join Maine amateur astronomer James Shields for a night sky tour of the constellations. \nWe will discuss the lore behind the constellations and how the ancients used the night sky to tell time\, the start of the seasons\, and navigate. We will also be using telescopes to view objects in the sky such as Orion’s Nebula\, galaxies\, and star clusters. \nFuller Farm offers a close-by opportunity to be farther away from light pollution so we can get a clearer view of the stars.  Dress warm and be prepared for the temperature to drop after dark. It is also recommended that you bring a chair to sit on\, a blanket\, a red light flashlight\, and a pair of binoculars if you have them. If you don’t have a red light flashlight\, we can cover a flashlight with red cellophane.

SUMMARY:Speaker: How the Personalities of Small Mammals Shape Forest Growth
DESCRIPTION:How the Personalities of Small Mammals Shape the Growth of Forests\n  \nScarborough Town Hall Chambers\n259 US-1\, Scarborough\, ME\n\nWe all know our cats and dogs have personalities\, but have you ever wondered about the squirrels in your backyard? How would you evaluate personality traits in squirrels\, mice\, or voles and why would you bother? \nThese small mammals play an important but often unseen role in forest regeneration and the movement of trees\, dispersing the seeds of the towering forests here in Maine. Personality in the mice and voles of our forests has consequences for where small mammals are living\, how they are foraging\, and what they are doing with the seeds they find\, influencing forest regeneration. Small mammals with contrasting personality traits are contributing to ecosystem services such as seed dispersal in different ways. \nLand-use change\, such as forest management or urbanization\, and climate change are also at work altering the composition of forests and the distribution of personality traits within populations. Researchers at Alessio Mortelliti’s lab at University of Maine are investigating the impact of small mammal personality on several ecological processes that shape the forest landscape. Come hear PhD candidate\, Maisie Merz\, talk about the interesting and important work and that she and the research team are doing right here in Maine.

SUMMARY:Emerald Ash Borer in Maine
DESCRIPTION:The Scarborough Land Trust (SLT) and Ash Protection Collaboration Across Wabanakik (APCAW) and the Wild Seed Project will present on the current state of Ash Trees and the presence of the Emerald Ash Borer in Maine\, what these organizations are doing to conserve Ash trees\, and how community members can help. \n  \nPresenter Bios: \nEmily Francis (she/her) is a UMaine PhD candidate with a research focus on human dimensions of natural resources\, specifically related to prioritizing Tribal Nations involvement in planning and decision making to solutions of “wicked problems”. Her final research project brings together the network of people and organizations working to save ash against EAB in Maine and beyond through a social networking analysis (SNA) accompanied by knowledge-sharing with basket makers. \nSamantha Wolf (she/her) is the Stewardship Director for SLT\, has undergone virtual and in-person ash collection and Wabanaki Cultural trainings presented by APCAW\, and has coordinated volunteers through SLT for Ash ID and seed collection on Scarborough Land Trust preserves. \nTyler Everett is a citizen of Mi’kmaq Nation. His research prioritizes methodologies that result in Tribal led science. He is a PhD student in the School of Forest Resources at the University of Maine and his current research focuses on the impacts of emerald ash borer (EAB) on Tribal ash resources and identifying innovative management and mitigation strategies for this forest health issue that Tribal Nation partners support and have interest in better understanding. \nElla McDonald (she/they) is a non-native Master’s student in Ecology and Environmental Science interested in how to facilitate respectful and effective cross cultural collaborations for the future of land\, forests\, and water. They helped facilitate the co-creation of the APCAW website and the APCAW training series of 2023-2024. \nEmily Baisden joined the Wild Seed Project in 2022 as the Seed Program Manager. Emily served as Entomologist and Educator at the Coastal Maine Botanical Gardens.

SUMMARY:Winter Tree ID Walk
DESCRIPTION:In Maine\, our trees are leafless for half of the year or more\, so we must find other clues to tell them apart when they are dormant. On this walk we will learn to identify common trees by their buds\, twigs\, bark\, and structure.\n\nAndy Kapinos is a Field Naturalist at Maine Audubon. Originally from Western Massachusetts\, he has worked previously as a high school teacher of Nature Study and Birding\, and studied Agroecology at the Swedish Agricultural University and Plant\, Soil\, and Insect Sciences at UMass – Amherst. His interests include birds\, native plants\, ethnobotany\, ecology\, and the intersections therein. He also enjoys cooking\, playing music\, and hiking with his dog Rosie.

DESCRIPTION:Come join fellow women who enjoy the outdoors and have a desire to walk the wonderful open spaces Scarborough Land Trust has committed to preserving. Women are twice as likely as men to feel uncomfortable walking alone\, so a suggestion was made that we explore a women’s walking group or series of events. \nThese will be leisurely walks averaging 45-60 mins in length.  Much of the terrain will be flat (either dirt or grass surfaces) but expect that there will brief uphill stretches\, wood crossings for boggy areas\, and some uneven ground (rocks\, tree roots). We recommend bringing micro spikes or other traction aids for shoes to allow for better stability\, but we will also have a few sets to lend out. And if there’s been recent snow\, snowshoes are welcome. \nWe are intending to keep this a monthly event through the winter\, as we had such positive feedback on the initial pilot walks. \nAlthough SLT properties are dog friendly\, we are asking that you not bring dogs to this event.

SUMMARY:Women's Walk
DESCRIPTION:Come join fellow women who enjoy the outdoors and have a desire to walk the wonderful open spaces Scarborough Land Trust has committed to preserving. Women are twice as likely as men to feel uncomfortable walking alone\, so a suggestion was made that we explore a women’s walking group or series of events. \nThese will be leisurely walks averaging 45-60 mins in length.  Much of the terrain will be flat (either dirt or grass surfaces) but expect that there will brief uphill stretches\, wood crossings for boggy areas\, and some uneven ground (rocks\, tree roots). We recommend bringing micro spikes or other traction aids for shoes to allow for better stability\, but we will also have a few sets to lend out. And if there’s been recent snow\, snowshoes are welcome. \nWe are intending to keep this a monthly event through the winter\, as we had such positive feedback on the initial pilot walks. \nAlthough SLT properties are dog friendly\, we are asking that you not bring dogs to this event.

SUMMARY:GapTracks: Assessing Both Wildlife and Human Use of the Eastern Trail’s GAP section
DESCRIPTION:The GapTracks Project began in February of 2017 by deploying game cameras to assess the wildlife community before\, during\, and after trail construction along the Eastern Trail and Nonesuch River in Scarborough. The goal of this project is to document and share (via Facebook\, Instagram\, public presentations) what wildlife use the forest where the trail will be built and to make management recommendations on how to best balance human and wildlife use of this important resource. This project is run by Dr. Noah Perlut and students from the University of New England\, including the Terrestrial Wildlife class.
