Maidstone Bends Preserve (The Nature Conservancy), Northumberland, New Hampshire
May 14 @ 10:00 am - 4:00 pm
- Leader: Scott Bailey, US Forest Service, Retired
- Visit and explore the floodplain forests, oxbow wetlands, and a floodplain forest restoration project in the Maidstone Bends region at the junction of the Upper Ammonoosuc and Connecticut Rivers. A focus of the trip will be on willow identification, and the timing was chosen to coincide with the flowering or fruiting of most of the dozen species that might be seen.
- Terrain: Easy to moderate. Participants will not travel far, approximately a quarter to half of a mile, and it will be fairly flat. However, participants should be prepared for wet and muddy conditions and should wear high boots, waders, or be prepared to get wet.
- Capacity: 10 participants
