LISBON FALLS — The Lisbon Historical Society will feature a program by Maine Master Naturalists Dan and Celeste Crowley at 7 p.m. Wednesday, June 14, at the society rooms in the MTM Center, 19 School St.

Their talk will be on “Natural Wonders of the Maine Woods.” Doors will open at 6:30 p.m. Refreshments will be served at the close of the meeting.

The Crowleys are 2017 graduates of the Maine Master Naturalist Program and will share their stories of all things natural, dedicated to the preservation and conservation of land and forest.

They put into practice the motto “Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle,” on their own piece of land on the banks of the Androscoggin River in Durham. In place of a lawn, they have plantings and multiple habitats that provide opportunities for wildlife to thrive all year long.

They will talk about how to use the appropriate tools and techniques to accurately identify many species of wildlife, from the smallest fern to the largest glacial erratic, all common to Maine. They will also present a display of local natural specimens from their research.

The Crowleys are each committed to 30 hours of volunteer time in order to satisfy the requirements of their program. They will answer questions at the end of the program.

Parking and entrance are at the rear of the MTM building.
