Androscoggin Woods Tour
August 28, 2022
4:30 pm - 5:30 pm
Androscoggin Woods is a 53-acre parcel that protects 10,000 feet of frontage along the Androscoggin River. The property contains significant wildlife habitat between the upland portion, 14 acres of wetlands, and along the nearly two miles of river. Thousands of freshwater mussels and clams can be found along the banks of the Androscoggin, functioning as filter feeders known to both improve water quality and provide a benchmark of the present day water quality of the river.The walk should take 1hr. We suggest wearing sturdy shoes and bringing water, sunscreen and a hat.
This event is free but registration is required!
The BTLT Stewardship Tour Series seeks to introduce the community to land conservation, stewardship, and history by offering guided walks with the Land Trust’s incredible Stewardship Team!
