We’re excited to announce our 2026 Spring CREA Speaker Series!
These talks are meant to engage and educate the community about the natural world where we live! These talks encourage participants to better understand our connection to the land and the places we call home. Cathance River Education Alliance, a program of Brunswick Topsham Land Trust, is excited to host these talks in collaboration with the Topsham Public Library and Curtis Memorial Library.
Thank you to Bath Savings Trust Company for sponsoring our speaker series!
