Be delighted by all that is growing and flying about in the city of Saco, located on beautiful Wabanaki land. Nature is prolific here and will pop up through the cracks in the sidewalks and on the edges of the street. We will look closely at what is growing and meet many native and invasive plants, as well as learn about what birds are migrating through town. Learn to look closely, both down at the plants and up at the trees, and learn to identify summer plants and birds that you may have in your own backyard. This walk will mostly be on sidewalks, but nearer to the river there is a section with many stairs. The section with stairs will take 15-20 minutes, and those who want to skip that part will have access to benches to wait upon. Registration closes at noon on 5/27.
