Experience the Solar System like never before - by traveling on a spacecraft that can turn the objects in space into sound!

There are so many reasons to keep honeybees – to support pollinators, for the joy of observing them at work, and for the honey, propolis & beeswax that beekeepers can collect.

Join Master Beekeeper Karen Thurlow for three sessions to help you get ready for your first season keeping bees. She will prepare you for the earliest decisions you’ll have to make when starting out: what equipment to get (and where), how to put together a new hive and where to situate it, and what bees to order and in what “form” (package or nuc). Karen will also introduce you to the lives of bees themselves – what their roles and basic needs are – as well as what you need to look for when inspecting your hive(s), and what each of the four seasons as a beekeeper will require of you. 

*This is a 3 part webinar series with sessions taking place on: January 24, January 25, & January 31 from 3:00 – 4:30 p.m. All sessions will be recorded & the recordings shared with registrants. We will reserve February 1 as a snow date in case of power or internet outages. 

Every Wednesday from 3-5 pm at The Bungalow bar, one of our knowledgeable team members will be offering complimentary tastes of two or three beers and beverages. No tickets are required, but let us know you're coming anyway for high fives! We hope you can join us!

ArtVan is a mobile art program that brings hands-on creative art opportunities for self-expression, personal growth, and fun. All of their projects aim to inspire art-making with a variety of materials to explore. ArtVan programs engage all age groups, encourage time outside and reduce screen time, help youth stay connected, diminish stress, and provide release for unvented expressions of emotions, such as loss and confusion.

ArtVan began in 2004 and has provided therapeutic art and strengths-based programs to under-resourced neighborhoods.

Who thought of putting molasses in baked beans? The answer you know is probably wrong, and likely the result of Victorian efforts to spin a colonial story about how New England eats. Join Meg Muckenhoupt, the author of The Truth About Baked Beans, to hear the true stories behind Boston Baked Beans, maple syrup, bear fat, and more. Muckenhoupt examines how ideas about New England’s food have shaped our ideas about regional identity, who belongs here, and whose stories get told.

Meg Muckenhoupt is a freelance writer and author of The Truth About Baked Beans and Cabbage: A Global History, among others. Her work has been featured in the Boston Globe, Boston Phoenix, Boston Magazine, and the Time Out Boston guide. Her book Boston Gardens and Green Spaces (Union Park Press, 2010) is a Boston Globe Local Bestseller. She lives in Lexington, Massachusetts.

This FREE virtual program is presented via Zoom. You will receive an email with the zoom link for the program with your registration confirmation through our online ticketing system.

Like many places, landscapes throughout Western Maine are changing dramatically. Mahoosuc Land Trust's "Habitat For All" garden, along with bestselling books by Doug Tallamy and others have amplified the increasingly critical roles of gardens, yards, neighborhoods and towns in supporting native food webs for birds, pollinators and other wildlife. These settings also provide rich opportunities to energize new partnerships, find ready relevance for all ages and demographics, and for bringing new energy and inclusion to conserving wildlife and habitat. Our backyards and local green spaces become opportunities to recruit and train new naturalists, while also creating potential refugia for species of plants and trees facing real challenges across broader landscapes.

Join Eric Topper, Maine Audubon's Director of Strategic Initiatives, to learn about how Maine Audubon and their partners engage people and their communities in creating and maintaining landscapes for wildlife and habitat.
