Wildflowers of Cobscook Bay

Would you like to learn how to recognize and identify wildflowers in the region?  On Monday, June 24, the Dennys River Historical Society is featuring a presentation by Kris and Allison Paprocki on “Wildflower Identification Around Cobscook Bay” with the use of field guides and other tools at the Lincoln Memorial Library in Dennysville at 6:30 p.m.  Eastern Washington County is rich in natural history, and is known for its many excellent hiking trails along the coast. When exploring these grand landscapes of coniferous forests, sand beaches and rocky ledges, what may go unnoticed are the many wildflowers under foot.  Kris and Allison Paprocki will give a presentation for the Dennys River Historical Society about the trailside flowers of eastern Washington County.  Participants will learn some basic skills in identifying flowers as well as where to look for some of our more common and less well-known treasures.  Exploring nature is wonderful pastime for young and old, and families are encouraged to attend.

Kris and Allison are graduates of the Maine Master Naturalist program.  They have led nature walks for local organizations such as the Down East Conservancy and the Lubec garden club.  They also lease a summer nature club for kids through the Porter Memorial Library.
