HARRISON — Loon Echo Land Trust staff will lead a snowshoe hike at the Intervale Forest at 9 a.m. Saturday, Jan. 20. The Intervale Forest is part of the Crooked River Preserve.

Participants will explore the interior of the parcel, where careful timber management has occurred for generations. Loon Echo Biologist Paul Miller will help identify winter birds of the Intervale and will also “name those tracks!” of winter creatures found within the preserve, if conditions allow.

The tour will work its way to the Crooked River. Along the way, the leaders will discuss the Sebago salmon and the importance of the Crooked River to the world-famous species.

The entrance to the Intervale parcel is located on Scribners Mills Road, a half-mile west of the Crooked River if coming from Otisfield, or 7/10 of a mile east of Maple Ridge Road from the west. Guests should come equipped with snowshoes, warm layers of clothing, water and snacks.

Loon Echo Land Trust protects land in seven towns in the northern Sebago Lake region of Maine.
