Celebrate coastal watersheds and conservation in the greater Mt. A region with the Parks and Recreation Department and the York River Stewardship Committee.
Visit the Learning Lodge during its extended hours from 4 to 6 PM. In addition to the regular Lodge displays, we will feature an interactive watershed model and a nature journaling craft. The York River Stewardship Committee will have information and activities too.
Guided Walk: Watersheds, Biodiversity and Conservation in the Mount Agamenticus Region, led by Paul Dest from 5 to 6 PM, starting and ending at the summit. Learn about the varied habitats and the decades-long effort to protect the most biologically diverse region in the State of Maine, which includes the York River watershed.

He is one of the founders of the Mount Agamenticus to the Sea Conservation Initiative and the York River Wild and Scenic initiative. He has served on the boards and commissions of several local, state and national conservation organizations, and is currently a member of the York River Stewardship Committee.
