DCC's Vice President and Landscape Historian, Robin Pinto, will be leading a six-week Sunrise Senior College Course this Spring: Natural & Cultural Histories of our Community Lands: DCC Preserves and Their Values for You.

For one full year, Maine Master Naturalist Carol Leonard, sat on a rock weekly. The result is a nature journal, “The Pickerel Weed Marsh,” composed of 100 slides of her observations, illustrations and photographs through all four seasons.

Join CWI, and the Campobello Whale Rescue Team, as they discuss the current status of right whales, what’s being done to protect them and how fishermen, shipping companies, governments and scientists are coming together in common cause.
