SUMMARY:Twilight Crawl
DESCRIPTION:During this twilight crawl\, we’ll be looking for animals that are most active during dawn and dusk. 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. For more detailed information about these difficulty levels\, including visual examples\, explore the rating system here. \nGear Library \nWHRL and MOS have a gear collection for OWL outings. Please reach out directly to Lizzie at 413-717-7827 or by email at lizzie@whrl.org if you are interested in using any of the items below. Use is first-come\, first-served. Need something that you don’t see on the list below? Reach out! \nAvailable Gear \n\nTrekking poles (6 sets)\nLayers: rain ponchos\n\nSpace is limited\, and registration is required. Registration opens April 13. \n			\n				Click here to Register

SUMMARY:Nature Inspired Art–a FREE Children’s Art Camp
DESCRIPTION:This year’s “Nature-Inspired Art Camp” is an opportunity for kids to connect to their natural environment. We will explore native and non-native plants\, birds\, and other creatures within the park. We will sharpen our artistic skills through a variety of exercises\, techniques\, and drawing and painting media. We hope this camp inspires a love for both nature and art as they relate to our own lives. \nThis free program will run four days\, July 20-23\, from 10am to Noon at Milbridge Commons Wellness Park. If there is inclement weather\, we’ll meet in WHRL’s Thankful Room. Open to children ages 9-14. \nJanie Snider\, Camp Leader\nJanie has been teaching art classes for nearly 30 years. Her work is inspired by the beauty of nature and Maine’s landscapes. Janie works primarily in watercolor and acrylics but loves playing with other media. She will offer individual guidance and share some of her own thoughts and techniques. \n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n					\n	\n\n                \n                        \n                            Nature Inspired Art–a FREE Children’s Art Camp\n                        \n                        LinkedInThis field is for validation purposes and should be left unchanged.Nature Inspired Art–a FREE Children’s Art Camp10 spots available.\n					\n					\n						Price:\n						\n					\n					\n				Waitlist(Required)\n								\n								I wish to be signed up for the Waitlist\n							Child InformationChild's Name(Required)Space is limited - register ONLY one person at a time. \n                            \n                            \n                                                    \n                                                    First\n                                                \n                            \n                            \n                                                    \n                                                    Last\n                                                \n                            \n                        Child's Age in June(Required)This program is open to children ages 9-14.Please enter a number from 9 to 14.Parent or Guardian InformationParent or Guardian Name(Required)\n                            \n                            \n                                                    \n                                                    First\n                                                \n                            \n                            \n                                                    \n                                                    Last\n                                                \n                            \n                        Email(Required)\n                            \n                        Phone(Required)Mailing Address(Required)    \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                Is there anything else we should know?

SUMMARY:Entomology 101 (Bugs)\, Milbridge Commons
DESCRIPTION:Flower and vegetable gardens are the perfect place to build your insect identification skills. 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. Please reach out to Lizzie at 413-717-7827 with any further questions. \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. \nGear Library \nWHRL and MOS have a gear collection for OWL outings.

SUMMARY:Bear's Den Garden Tour
DESCRIPTION:Geri Valentine and Donna Kausen are self-reliant homestead gardeners who have been growing vegetables organically for seasonal eating and Winter storage for over 40 years.

All work is done by hand with a spade and a fork; they use only locally gathered soil amendments such as leaves\, seaweed\, and manure\, and they save their own seeds when practical. Come and be inspired by this unique off-grid homestead and gardens\, and the women who created them. \nOpen to families and well-supervised children of all ages.

SUMMARY:Long Pond Paddle
DESCRIPTION:This mellow paddling outing\, departing from the Black Woods Road just west of Cherryfield\, offers the opportunity to develop canoeing skills and observe the unique insects and plants that call this spring-fed pond home in late spring. 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. Registration opens on May 18. \n			\n				Click here to Register

SUMMARY:Chair Yoga Summer Session - Friday Mornings Begins
DESCRIPTION:When: Wednesdays\, beginning June 12 (5 sessions)Time: 9-10 amCost: $10 per session ($50 paid in advance) \nChair yoga allows us to enjoy the benefits of yoga while sitting securely in a firm chair.  We still have to do the work\, but we are seated in a chair or standing next to it\, using our hand for support.  This makes the practice available to those of us who can’t easily get up and down from the floor\,  have had knee or hip replacements\,  suffer from dizziness\, and struggle with balance — lots of us! \nWith practice\, our bodies become stronger and more flexible. Our breathing slows and deepens\, our postural alignment improves\, and we begin to cultivate an inner field of quiet and self-compassion. These benefits bring vitality to our systems and a feeling of being at home in our bodies. \nChairs are provided. Please wear comfortable\, layered clothing for both warm and cool conditions. Elastic waistbands are essential to prevent breath obstruction. Sneakers are good\, and shoes may stay on during practice. If you have yoga blocks\, please bring them.  No mat is needed. \nGeri Valentine is the instructor for this series. She is certified in both Yin and Kripalu Yoga\, forms of Hatha Yoga. She has offered Yoga through WHRL for 18 years. This Chair Yoga session is a modified version of Hatha. \nFor questions\, contact Geri Valentine at 207-598-5355. \n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n					\n	\n                \n                        \n                            2026 Summer Session Chair Yoga - Friday Mornings\n                        \n                        FacebookThis field is for validation purposes and should be left unchanged.Chair Yoga - Summer Session - Friday Mornings\n					\n					\n						Price:\n						\n					\n					\n				7 seats availableWaitlist(Required)\n								\n								Please sign me up for the waitlist.\n							Name(Required)\n                            \n                            \n                                                    \n                                                    First\n                                                \n                            \n                            \n                                                    \n                                                    Last\n                                                \n                            \n                        Email(Required)\n                            \n                        Phone(Required)Address(Required)    \n                    \n                         \n                                        \n                                        Street Address\n                                    \n                                        \n                                        Address Line 2\n                                    \n                                    \n                                    City\n                                 \n                                        \n                                        State / Province / Region\n                                      \n                                    \n                                    ZIP / Postal Code\n                                \n                    \n                Is there anything else we should know?

SUMMARY:2nd Annual Bloom for Butterflies Milkweed Sale
DESCRIPTION:We are excited to announce our 2nd Annual Bloom for Butterflies Milkweed Plant Fundraiser Sale. 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.

SUMMARY:Mending Cafe
DESCRIPTION:Have you always wanted to learn how to mend your clothes? Do you have a pile of clothes you love that need a little TLC before you can wear them again? Are you a seasoned mender looking to meet and connect with others? There is a place for you at WHRL’s Mending Cafe! Share your favorite technique for putting a patch on your jeans\, sewing on a button\, darning your knitwear\, and more! Some repairs may benefit from the use of a sewing machine; we will always have at least one available. \nWe welcome all skill levels to this program. Although this will not be a class\, there will be menders who can help you brainstorm ideas for your repairs. We will have some tools and materials available\, but we recommend bringing your favorite sewing notions from home. We will have plenty of fabric scraps\, embroidery floss\, yarn\, and iron for pressing. We will also have some of our favorite books on mending techniques available for in-class use and inspiration! \nPlease note that this program will take place monthly on the second Tuesday of each month on a drop-in basis.
