Skowhegan Outdoors will be at Lake George Regional Park, West, from 1 to 3 p.m. Sunday, April 11, to discuss how to get involved with a community science project, and help researchers collect data with minimal prior knowledge.
The park is located at West Lake George Park Road in Skowhegan.
The Maine Bird Atlas program — an ongoing community science program — will be covered, as well as beginner birding tips and tricks. Participants can then use newfound knowledge to look for and record bird sightings on a 1.5-mile stroll through the woods. This program is for anyone who interested in birding, ecology, and conservation; birding experience is not required.
More information on the Maine Bird Atlas can be found at maine.gov.
The free program is limited to 15 participants. Arrive 15 minutes early to check in. Bring warm clothes, water, snacks, binoculars if possible, and a face mask.
