SUMMARY:Earth Day! Signs of Spring and Woodcock Walk w/Stanton Bird Club
DESCRIPTION:Signs of Spring Walk at the Marden-Chittick Refuge\, Greene \nApril 22\, 2022 – 6:30 PM  (rain date April 23 at 6:30 PM) \nCelebrate Earth Day with the Androscoggin Land Trust and the Stanton Bird Club\, with an evening nature walk to find signs of spring!  We will gather at the lower field of the Marden-Chittick Refuge in Greene (see directions below) at 6:30 PM. Dana Little and Judy Marden will lead a walk around the field and nearby woods\, looking for signs of spring: vernal pools by the field edge\, emerging spring wildflowers and plants\, calling owls\, and\, when it begins to get dark\, woodcocks displaying spring mating behavior. \nThe ground will be wet\, and ticks will be out\, so we recommend tall waterproof boots or gaiters\, and tick repellent. Bring a flashlight and/or headlight. \nDirections: The field is on Copper Ridge Road\, off the dirt section of North Mountain Road in Greene.  The nearest house address is 19 Copper Ridge Road\, Greene ME 04236\, and there is plenty of parking along the side of the field beyond that house.  Dan Marquis has volunteered to meet participants at Gowell’s Grocery Store on Route 202 in Greene and lead them in\, if you prefer an in-person guide. He’ll be in the parking lot at 6:15\, driving a Marquis Signs vehicle. \nThe theme for Earth Day is the fashion industry.  Seemed strange to us too!  Please consider donating or upcycling any clothing you might have to organizations in our community that accept and upcycle clothing.  Ponder the effects that the fashion industry has had over the years in our local region and the entire world.

The conservation easements protect over 200 acres of forests\, scenic views and fields as well as the historic John Allen (1760-1834) farmstead and Mountain Purity Spring. This property is privately owned\, although the landowner at her discretion allows for limited public access\, via snowmobile and hiking trails. There is also permanent access for the Bates Outing Club to their lean-to.
