COUNTY — Join Oxford County Soil & Water Conservation District on June 14 from 3-4:30 p.m. for a walk and talk at the Tenmile River Demonstration Forest, located on the Hiram/Brownfield town line!

Maine’s native tree and shrub species will be dealing with climate change in different ways. Some will adapt faster than others, and some will struggle, and could potentially be lost. OCSWCD Project Manager, Michele Windsor, will lead us through the District’s Tenmile River Demonstration Forest to identify many of the species that are expected to be more resilient, as well as species that will be adversely affected by climate change. She’ll also explore the “assisted migration” of some more southern native species that can easily be introduced in Maine to fill the voids in wildlife habitat and forest biodiversity as participants tour the Agroforestry and Climate Resiliency Demonstration Project. This event is free, but participants are asked to please register by visiting our website at oxfordcountyswcd.org/workshops. The registration deadline is Thursday, June 13, 2024. For more information, please contact Chantelle Hay, Education and Outreach Coordinator at Oxford County Soil and Water Conservation District. Email: [email protected]; phone 207-744-3111.
