SUMMARY:Stories Told by Trees
DESCRIPTION:Oh if trees could talk! \n \nPlease join us for a walk and talk about trees along the Blaisdell Trail on in Rome. Led by Maine Master Naturalist Susan Cottle\, the out and back walk will provide the opportunity to look at the forest landscape\, consider what we can tell from the lay of the land about its history and makeup\, and think about the infinite ways in which trees affect virtually every other living thing. And\, of course\, we’ll surely do some tree ID along the way as we talk about ways to look at trees\, how they live\, and what we might notice about them that we haven’t before. \nParking\nWe will be meeting at the Quill Hill parking lot located on Drury Lane in Rome\, just north of the intersection of routes 27 and 225. \n		\n			Directions & Trail Map		\n\n  \nEvent Policies\n\nWe ask everyone attending 7 Lakes Alliance events to treat people\, plants\, and animals with respect.\n7 Lakes staff may be taking pictures during this event.
