SUMMARY:Explore ALT Nature Walk:  Spruce Mountain Conservation Area
DESCRIPTION:Join us on a Sunday morning in August for the third in a series of Explore ALT Nature Walks! This event will be at Spruce Mountain Conservation Area in Jay\, Maine led by Maine Master Naturalist\, Travis Sparks. The focus of this walk on trails at Spruce Mountain is Summer Tree Identification. \nExplore ALT Nature Walks are free\, guided adventures at Androscoggin Land Trust conservation areas. Led by trained Maine Master Naturalists and other volunteer leaders\, these walks are a great chance to learn more about the natural world and local conservation efforts. Each walk will have a focus depending on the season and the location\, but we will explore whatever we find!  Please dress according to the weather\, and prepare appropriately for any weather or other conditions – proper footwear\, snacks\, water bottle\, etc. The walks are great for engaged children\, but not appropriate for those under age 6. Also\, because the goal is nature observation\, no dogs please. \nPlease check back here for any updates or changes. \nAbout Spruce Mountain Conservation Area: This 143.6-acre property in Jay near the Spruce Mountain Ski Area overlooks the former French Falls in the Androscoggin River\, a drop of six feet in the river that was blasted and mostly removed during the early industrialization of the area.  The original 117-acre property was previously conserved through a long-term conservation lease with Verso Paper\, but ALT purchased it and an additional 26.6 acres\, along with other properties in October 2014 as part of our Androscoggin Greenway Community Forest Project.  The project was generously funded by Land for Maine’s Future and numerous private foundations.  The property is managed for wildlife habitat\, recreation and sustainable forestry.  Additional property information here. \nDirections: The Spruce Mountain Conservation Area is accessed via Ski Slope Road from Route 4 in Livermore Falls.  Ski Slope Road narrows roughly around the Spruce Mountain Ski Area parking lot.  The road is closed from the parking lot north and access to the property is on foot only at this point.  We’ll meet in the parking lot just past the hydro dam and the Spruce Mountain Ski Slope.

SUMMARY:Source to the Sea - ARWC - Auburn/David Rancourt Preserve
DESCRIPTION:Judy Marden\, a past board member of ALT and experienced paddling leader\, will lead this leg of the Androscoggin River Watershed Council’s (AWRC) Source to Sea Paddle event series and we hope you will join! This is a mellow and scenic round-trip paddle from Auburn to ALT’s David Rancourt River Preserve in Lewiston and back to Auburn. You just might see an eagle or two. \nPut-in will be at the North River Road Boat Launch in Auburn (behind Wendy’s).  The group will paddle about 1.75 miles (total round-trip is approximately 3.5 miles) to the David Rancourt Rancourt Preserve\, just below Deer Rips Dam\, take a short hike on the preserve\, and then back to North River Road Boat Launch.  The current along this stretch is slow unless you choose to paddle up into the rips.  Meet at 8:30 am at the North River Road boat launch (behind Wendy’s on Center St. in downtown Auburn).  Bring your kayak or canoe\, sunscreen and bugspray\, and plenty to drink\, and meet us at the North River Road Boat Launch at 8:30AM! \nPut in and take out: N44°27.977′ W070°13.513′ \nNotes: Put in at the North River Road launch in Auburn and paddle about 1.75 miles upstream until you reach a small sand beach on the Lewiston side of the river.   Current is slow to non-existent because the put-in is just above Great Falls Dam and the Rancourt River Preserve is just below the Deer Rips Dam. Join for lunch at Rolly’s Diner in Auburn for lunch after the paddle. \nClick below for map.\nhttp://goo.gl/maps/TYj3Y \nFMI about the Source to Sea Trek and to make a voluntary donation to support ARWC: http://arwc.camp7.org/event-3342448
