LEA pop-up walks

Lakes Environmental Association is hosting nature pop-up walks on its hiking trails and the public is welcome. It is a great way to explore nature and meet new friends. LEA staff will look at the upcoming week’s weather forecast and decide which day is the best to go out, then email people on their list to see who is interested. Sometimes the walks will have a theme such as birds or wildflowers, while others will focus on participants’ interests. To learn more and sign up for the notification list go to mainelakes.org or call 647-8580.
