SUMMARY:Sunday Open Hours at the CREA Ecology Center
DESCRIPTION:Spend your Sunday exploring nature at the CREA Ecology Center a
 t the Cathance River Nature Preserve!\n\nEvery Sunday from 12–2pm\, fami
 lies\, nature lovers\, and curious visitors of all ages are invited to sto
 p by this unique off-grid learning space and discover all the Preserve has
  to offer.\n\nInside the Center\, you’ll find hands-on opportunities to 
 connect with Maine’s natural world\, including native mammal and bird di
 splays\, Maine rocks and minerals\, field guides and nature books for all 
 ages\, and seasonal activities for kids and families to enjoy on-site or t
 ake home for another outdoor adventure. Friendly volunteers are on hand to
  answer questions\, share trail recommendations\, and help you learn more 
 about the Preserve’s wildlife and ecosystems.\n\nBefore or after your vi
 sit to the Center\, head out onto the Preserve trails to enjoy forests\, s
 treams\, wetlands\, and wildlife along miles of scenic paths. In the winte
 r months\, visitors can even borrow youth and adult snowshoes during open 
 hours to explore the trails.\n\nBe sure to check out the Ecology Center’
 s many sustainable features during your visit\, including solar power\, re
 cycled building materials\, clay plaster walls\, and other environmentally
  friendly design elements that make the building itself part of the learni
 ng experience.\n\nYou can also view live weather conditions from the Prese
 rve’s weather station\, which tracks temperature\, wind\, precipitation\
 , solar radiation\, and more for scientific studies and outdoor visitors a
 like.\n\nPlease help us protect this special place by practicing Leave No 
 Trace principles: stay on marked trails\, pack out what you bring in\, lea
 ve natural objects where you find them\, and help keep the Preserve beauti
 ful for everyone.\n\nSunday afternoons are the perfect time to slow down\,
  explore\, and experience the beauty of the Cathance River Nature Preserve
  together!\nLocation &amp\; Parking: \nAfter you have entered Highland Gre
 en\, stay straight for 1.5 miles. You will pass the golf club on your left
 . Stay on Evergreen Circle\, the winding main village road of Highland Gre
 en\, for approximately 1 more mile.\n\nWhen you see Junco Drive on the lef
 t\, the parking area for the Ecology Center and hiking is just ahead\, on 
 the left. The Ecology Center is not visible from the parking area. Do not 
 drive down Rensenbrink Way – there is no parking at the Ecology Center\,
  and the road is not plowed in winter.\n\nTo reach the Ecology Center or a
 ccess the rest of the trail network\, head down the stone stairs to the ri
 ght of the kiosk. At the bottom of the steps\, head right on the dirt road
  (Rensenbrink Way) to reach the Ecology Center (approximately 2-3 minute w
