Join Wild Ones Midcoast Maine for another fun tour, this time of Roger Rittmaster’s restored native plant meadow. Meet at 42 William Glen Drive in Camden on Saturday, October 4 between 2:00 and 4:00 pm!
Tour this local native plant meadow and learn about the process of removing invasives and encourage native plants to take their place. This is a great opportunity to see ecological restoration on a small scale, with huge impacts. Over 900 species of insects and counting have been recorded here!
When you arrive, please park along one side of the road only.
