Community Forest Walk on June 8

HARRISON — Loon Echo and Western Foothills Land Trusts are collaborating on a regional project which includes the protection of two family-owned forested parcels along the Crooked River as community forests for the towns of Harrison and Otisfield.

On Sunday, June 8, between 8 and 10 a.m., the public is invited to walk one of the parcels, the proposed 300-acre Harrison community forest known as the Intervale parcel with long-time property forester Fred Huntress. This is a chance to gently explore the wooded parcel on well-established tote roads, while finding out more about the community forest model in New England.

Entrance to the parcel is on Scribners Mills Road in Harrison, half mile west of the Crooked River if coming from Otisfield, or 7/10th mile east of Maple Ridge Road from the west.

Comfortable shoes, bug spray and long sleeves are suggested.
