Do you own 10 or more acres in the Greater Sebago Lakes Watershed? Join LEA and many partners in celebrating forests in the watershed on Woodland Owner Appreciation Day!

Forests are a precious resource. The Lakes Environmental Association, Portland Water District, and Sebago Clean Waters would like to connect you with resources to help keep your land forested for years to come. We hope you can attend our Woodland Owner Appreciation Day. It is free because we are grateful for you and your forested land.?

This fun and educational day will include:

  • Mingling with other landowners
  • Gathering for lunch (Good Life Market sandwiches provided)
  • Walking and talking with foresters, biologists, and conservationists
  • Enjoying a beer brewed with Sebago Lake water
  • Hearing landowner testimonials about unique management strategies
  • Drawings for free raffle prizes!

Expect some of the tried and true walks and talks, like Forestry 101 and Forestry for Maine Birds. You can also expect more learning about what a land trust is and does on the landscape, a visit to a recent harvest, and lots of historical information about the site and Bridgton (plus a tour of the 1790?s farmhouse at the end of the day!).

Registration is required by September 23rd
