This mellow hike will focus on observing the signs of wildlife that love this cooler time of day during summer. In OWL outings\, frequent stops are built into the program to discuss elements of the natural world that we learn about on the way. The pace is always determined by the needs and desires of the group with a primary goal of going slow to enhance our connection with nature and each other. Bring comfortable close-toed shoes for walking in\, like sneakers or hiking boots\, and a backpack for extra layers\, water\, and snacks. This will be a moderate*\, short hike with minimal elevation change over mostly flat terrain. More information about the trail here (we don’t do the full 1.5-mile lollipop trail). \nOWL Outings are led by Registered Maine Guides at Maine Outdoor School who all hold a minimum of a Wilderness First Aid certification. To learn more about MOS’s guides\, visit https://www.maineoutdoorschool.org/staff. \n*To determine the difficulty level of outings\, we use Maine TrailFinder’s difficulty rating system.

Optional sitting or standing activities will help you connect with the beauty and mystery of the insect world\, learn to categorize them\, and consider how humans could possibly survive without them! This program is low-movement\, and you can enjoy it seated or standing. Wheelchairs welcome! For this outing\, you will need to move from your car in the parking lot to the grassy park area of the Milbridge Commons Wellness Park. The park is ringed by a 6′-wide trail with a deep gravel base topped with stone dust\, which makes it easier on the joints than pavement. For people who use wheelchairs\, Maine Trail Finder’s Accessibility Ambassador\, Enock Glidden\, has created a rating system in Wheelies. This outing qualifies as “Wheelie Easy.” See here for more information. For those who would like to move around more\, you will also have the opportunity to do so. Wear clothing and footwear to keep you warm and dry during this slower-paced program\, and a lawn chair if you’d prefer not to sit on a stone bench or the ground.

This is a flatwater paddling experience where we can choose how far we want to paddle and tack on an optional short walk from a beach to another pond if we choose. In OWL outings\, frequent stops are built into the program to discuss elements of the natural world that we learn about on the way. The pace is always determined by the needs and desires of the group\, with a primary goal of going slow to enhance our connection with nature and each other. \nCanoes\, paddles\, and life jackets available to the first 6 people who need them; otherwise\, BYO boat! In addition to canoes and kayaks\, we welcome paddleboards on this outing\, though note that they tend to go much slower than canoes and kayaks. Helpers are available to assist with unloading/loading your gear at the boat launch; you will not have to unload by yourself. \nOWL Outings are led by Registered Maine Guides at Maine Outdoor School who all hold a minimum of a Wilderness First Aid certification. To learn more about MOS’s guides\, visit https://www.maineoutdoorschool.org/staff. \nSpace is limited\, and registration is required.

This initiative aims to promote the planting of milkweed\, a vital host plant for monarch butterflies\, and to raise funds to support the maintenance of the Ed Flanagan Pollinator Garden at Milbridge Commons Wellness Park. \nMilkweed is essential to monarch survival\, whose populations have declined dramatically in recent years. By planting milkweed\, we not only provide a safe habitat for these beautiful butterflies but also support the overall health of our local ecosystems. \nThe Bloom for Butterflies Milkweed Plant Fundraiser Sale features swamp milkweed\, a plant that forms 3-5 foot tall clumps\, and doesn’t spread aggressively like other milkweed species. It’s a perennial that thrives in wet environments but can also grow in regular gardens. \nOur 3-quart pots will contain two Milkweed seedlings ready for planting.  \nSupplies are limited (and we sold out last year)! Order now for pickup in late June. Plants are a $12 donation. \nJoin us in making a difference for our environment! Together\, we can create a brighter future for monarch butterflies and our local ecosystems.  \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Bloom for Butterflies: Milkweed Plant Fundraiser\n \n Swamp Milkweed Plant Quantity\n \n \n Price:\n $12.00\n \n \n Quantity \n Name(Required)\n \n \n \n First\n \n \n \n \n Last\n \n \n Phone Number(Required)Email(Required)\n \n Mailing Address \n \n \n \n Street Address\n \n \n City\n \n AlabamaAlaskaAmerican SamoaArizonaArkansasCaliforniaColoradoConnecticutDelawareDistrict of ColumbiaFloridaGeorgiaGuamHawaiiIdahoIllinoisIndianaIowaKansasKentuckyLouisianaMaineMarylandMassachusettsMichiganMinnesotaMississippiMissouriMontanaNebraskaNevadaNew HampshireNew JerseyNew MexicoNew YorkNorth CarolinaNorth DakotaNorthern Mariana IslandsOhioOklahomaOregonPennsylvaniaPuerto RicoRhode IslandSouth CarolinaSouth DakotaTennesseeTexasUtahU.S. Virgin IslandsVermontVirginiaWashingtonWest VirginiaWisconsinWyomingArmed Forces AmericasArmed Forces EuropeArmed Forces Pacific\n State\n \n \n ZIP Code\n \n \n Total\n \n How do you plan to pay?(Required)Please note that Venmo is not yet available on Apple devices. \n \n \n Credit Card\n \n \n \n PayPal or Venmo\n \n \n \n Send a Check\n Paypal CheckoutPayPal Checkout\n MasterCardVisaSupported Credit Cards: MasterCard\, Visa\n \n Card Number\n \n \n \n Expiration Date\n \n \n  \n Security Code\n \n \n \n Cardholder Name\n Credit Card\n \n Cardholder Name\n \n \n Card Details\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Milkweed is the only plant on which Monarch butterflies will lay their eggs\, and it is the only food their caterpillars eat.  URL:https://whrl.org/schedule/bloom-for-butterflies-milkweed/ LOCATION:ME CATEGORIES:Special Events ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://whrl.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/blooms-for-butterflies.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20260314T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20260314T110000 DTSTAMP:20260609T184153 CREATED:20250709T202023Z LAST-MODIFIED:20251112T185651Z UID:10000368-1773478800-1773486000@whrl.org SUMMARY:Saturday Morning Craft & Chat DESCRIPTION:Join us for a relaxing Saturday morning craft group\, open to everyone and all skill levels!
