SUMMARY:Conservation Speaker Series: Protecting Forests & Connected Habitat
DESCRIPTION:The Scarborough Conservation Commission\, Scarborough Land Trust\, Scarborough Public Library\, and Friends of Scarborough Marsh invite you to learn about how our critical natural resources may be impacted in the future and how groups are working to protect them. \nThe third part of the Series will be November 2\, 2023\, 6:30 pm at the Scarborough Public Library.  Attendance is free\, but registration is encouraged through the library. Click Here to Register \n  \nProtecting Forests & Connected Habitat\, with Sally Stockwell\, Maine Audubon. \nMaine has a lot of forestland\, which we sometimes take for granted. But did you know our forests are globally significant? Come learn about the important role they play for wildlife\, biodiversity and climate\, and the special nature of older forests for fish\, wildlife\, carbon storage\, and high-quality timber.

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: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.
