Closing the Perennial Garden with John Fromer in the Hexagon

Why do maple trees change color in the fall and pine trees do not?  Some birds migrate and some stay all winter.  Why?  Which mammals hibernate while some are active?  How do seeds survive the winter?  What causes the changes in the season?  The study of seasonal change is called phenology.  We will consider these questions and more.

Please join us on Saturday, October 5^th at 10am for this free Fall Ecology walk open to all ages. We will walk through the meadows and forest to explore these changes.  This is an all weather event. Please dress for hiking on our rustic trails. The meadows have mowed paths.

Pre-registration is required as the walk is limited to 15 people. To register, please call 207-236-2239 or email info@merryspring.org.
