SUMMARY:Explore ALT Nature Walk: Purinton Homestead Preserve
DESCRIPTION:Join us on National Trails Day\, June 1st\, for the first in a series of Explore ALT Nature Walks! This first event will be at Purinton Homestead Preserve in West Bowdoin led by Maine Master Naturalist\, Travis Sparks. The focus of this walk on the mile of trail at Purinton will be forest succession\, a natural pattern of ecosystem change that takes place over time. \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 might observe! \nPlease 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 Purinton Homestead Conservation Area: An undeveloped and traditional rural agrarian and forest preserve with 1 mile of wooded walking trails in the village of West Bowdoin. The land was generously donated to the Androscoggin Land Trust in 2001 by the Purinton Family. The Preserve includes a 40-acre field and 100 acres of woods with frontage along Gillespie Brook owned by ALT as well as the privately-owned historic Purinton family home and adjacent 9-acres which ALT holds a conservation easement on.  Gillespie Brook\, empties into Little River which is good potential salmon habitat. Hay is still being harvested from the fields. Additional property information here. \nDirections: (GPS: 54-10 W Rd\, Bowdoin\, ME 04287) Follow Route 196 in Lewiston north to the intersection with South Lisbon Road in Lewiston.  Turn left onto South Lisbon Road and follow to intersection with Crowley Road.  Turn left onto Crowley Road and follow until the Town of Sabattus where it turns to Bowdoinham Road.   Continue on Bowdoinham Road until you cross into the Town of Lisbon where it becomes the Store Road.  At the intersection with West Road\, turn left onto West Road and follow past the field on the right.  When the fields turn to woods again\, look for a sandy informal parking area on the right\, which is adjacent to the trailhead. \nUpcoming Explore ALT Nature Walks: \n\nSaturday\, July 6\, 10:00am – 11:30am\nSherwood Forest Conservation Area\, Auburn\nFocus: TBD\nSunday\, August 4\, 10:00am – 11:30am\nSpruce Mountain Conservation Area\, Jay\nFocus: TBD

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.
