Old Orchard Beach/Saco Adult Education

Slow down, be mindful, and carefully explore the urban wilds of Wabanaki land on the wheelchair- and walker-accessible Eastern Bike Trail in Saco. Take your time looking closely at plants and ecology on a small section of trail as you learn the names and gifts of trees and plants you might normally pass by. Registration closes at noon on 9/27.

Wear comfortable shoes and weather-appropriate clothing. The trail is wide, mostly flat, and has compressed sand. Meet at the trailhead behind Thornton Academy. Walk begins promptly at 2 PM. Rain date 10/6.

Note: Please communicate any accessibility concerns at registration, and Laura will contact you to discuss any needed accommodations.
