LEEDS — A walk with a forester is scheduled for 10 a.m. to noon Sunday, April 3, around Curtis Homestead Demonstration Forest, 30 Bog Road.

District Forester Julie Davenport will lead the walk and talk. She can help participants identify local trees and discuss forest management practices happening at the Curtis Homestead, as well as different ways to interpret land use history using clues the forest leaves today. She also will discuss ways landowners can manage their own woodlands for the benefit of both present and future generations.

Participants should wear comfortable shoes and dress for the weather.

The cost is $5 per person. Registration is requested, but not required, by emailing projectdirector@andoscogginswcd.org.

People can bring cash or a check to the event, or pay ahead of time.

This program is partly supported by the Kennebec Woodlands Partnership. The partnership aims to promote forest stewardship by providing landowners with tools and strategies that will help them make informed decisions about their woodlands.
