The Rewilding Fair is currently ON for June 12!
Though Midcoast Conservancy often focuses on protecting large swaths of intact forests and wetlands, no piece of land is too small to be valuable wildlife habitat. Join us for our Rewilding Learning Fair to discover how you can transform your lawn, garden, or porch into a thriving landscape that provides a home to birds, bees, butterflies, and other native species. The benefits of “rewilding” a space extends beyond its beauty; a yard full of native plants improves water quality, reverses habitat loss, and mitigates climate change.
Whether you have never heard of rewilding before or have already rewilded your yard, this event is for you! There will be plenty to learn about including invasive plant identification and removal, landscaping with wildlife in mind, erosion control and its impacts on water quality, and gardening with native plants. Arrive early for a chance to win native seed packets and build a free bee hotel!
Check back soon for a full, detailed list of learning topics.
This event is free to attend, and registration is not required. Learning stations will be set up along our very short loop trail at Waldoboro Village River Park, and attendees are encouraged to explore at their own pace. The trail is a slightly sloped, mowed path through a field. Parking is available at the trailhead, and throughout downtown Waldoboro.
