Step into the beauty of blueberry barrens in the fall and join Maine Master Naturalist Liz Koucky for a guided hike on Vienna Mountain. This hike will take us onto conserved land in Vienna, ME that is covered in low-bush blueberry plants. We will follow old farm roads that will take us deeper into the barrens where, on clear days, views to the west reveal the White Mountains and views to the east show Great Pond.

Registration for this event is required due to limited parking availability.
