KLT Workday - Remick Preserve
LOCATION: Remick Preserve, Ridgewood Drive
TIME: 9 - 11 am
Description: Please join us at our Remick Preserve property for an hour or two of habitat restoration. Many hands are needed, and you will make a difference in these beautiful woods. Habitat restoration is the single most important thing that an individual can do to aid the Land Trust in its mission to preserve the forests. Cutting invasive species will allow the native species that are there to flourish. Bring the tools of your choice such as hand saws, loppers, hand pruners or an axe, and bug spray. We have some extra hand saws and pruners if you don't have tools. Email or call Steve Ostrow at ostrowsv2@gmail.com or 207-439-2374 with any questions.
Where to meet: From the traffic circle in Kittery, head toward the transfer station on Route 236. At the first traffic light, turn left onto Martin Rd. Take your second right onto Ridgewood Drive. Take your first left to stay on Ridgewood Drive. Park under the power lines.

Conservation Conversations
LOCATION: Kittery Community Center, Room 2
TIME: 5:30 – 6:30 pm
DESCRIPTION: Join KLT as we host guest speaker, Laura Diemer from FB Environmental Associates, for her presentation: Connecting land, water, and people to promote natural resource protection in Kittery
Human activities on the landscape have profound impacts on critical natural resources, affecting both aquatic and terrestrial species. Much of these human activities can be managed in a way that balances daily life with natural resource protection. For natural resources that have been adversely impacted, there are many restoration tools to use for regaining lost ecosystem functions. FB Environmental Associates (FBE) has worked extensively in the Town of Kittery on a variety of different projects, ranging from water quality monitoring and fecal source tracking to stormwater management and treatment to invasive species mapping and removal. These important projects have helped to protect the integrity of natural resources in Kittery for the benefit of native flora and fauna, as well as residents and visitors who live or recreate in the area. Free, all welcome!
