CUMBERLAND — University of Maine Cooperative Extension will offer a tree identification tour of Rines Forest, with Shane Duigan, district forester with the Maine Forest Service, from 1 to 3 p.m. Sunday, Sept. 29.

Rines Forest is part of a 900-acre contiguous block of un-fragmented forest habitat. The property is comprised of flat terrain and steep rolling hills interspersed with cascading streams. The diverse plant life includes hemlock, pine, red oak, birch, poplar and maple, all of which serve as a perfect canopy for the forest’s wildlife population of deer, coyote, fox, ruffed grouse, turkey, snowshoe hare, fisher, porcupine, hawks and owls.

This event is free and open to the public, but preregistration is requested. Call the UMaine Extension office in Cumberland County at 800-287-1471 (in Maine) or 207-781-6099 before Wednesday, Sept. 25.
