Greater Lovell Land Trust’s second annual Pollinator Flower Fest is scheduled for 2-4 p.m. Saturday, July 1, behind the office on Route 5 in Lovell.

People can view the butterfly-shaped garden, participate in a butterfly release, create some crafts and play some games geared to children and adults, learn about the flowers and their pollinators, and eat ice cream.

On Sunday, July 5, the trust will sponsor a talk by Jesse Stevens of Sy’s Nursery, titled “Foraging for Edible Foods.” The talk will take place from 7-8 p.m. at Charlotte Hobbs Memorial Library, 227 Main St. in Lovell. The following day, Monday, July 6 at 9:30 a.m., Stevens will lead a walk with the same focus, according to a news release from Leigh Macmillen Hayes, trust education director and Maine Master Naturalist.

From 9:30 a.m. to noon on Saturday, July 8, the trust will lead a flora and fauna walk beside Charles Pond in Stow. Space is limited.

In addition, the Storybook Trail at Kezar River Reserve on Route 5 in Lovell features “The Mother of Spring,” written by Susan Wells and Kate Erwin, and illustrated by Erwin, the Harrison artist who is creating the murals on buildings in Bridgton. Rainbows created by Lovell Recreation kids and trust volunteers and staff also decorate the trail.

For those who aren’t up for a nature hike but like to run or walk on trails, the trust sponsors a Roots and Rocks Ramblers Fun Run/Walk at 5:30 p.m. each Thursday, location changes weekly.
