Porcupine Meander
Join us for a walk at Bass Falls Preserve to search for early signs of spring and talk about Porcupines. We’ll follow the trail through private fields, into the woods, and down to the Sheepscot River where sits an abandoned fisherman's cabin taken over by porcupines. With luck we’ll find some quills to examine and skat to avoid. These common woodland rodents waddle their way through life, hanging out in trees, nibbling hemlock and relying on their quills to defend themselves against predators.
Depending on what early March looks like, be prepared for snow, mud or ice. Check out Bass Falls Preserve so you know where you are headed and what to expect. Please come prepared for all conditions with warm clothes, water, snacks, and proper footwear. We will be on the trail 1.5 - 2 hours.
