Natural Communities Visit: Forest Edges at Fields Pond

Celebrate spring with a guided walk through forest edges and open woodlands where serviceberry is flowering. Led by a staff naturalist, this field experience highlights companion plants, habitat structure, and seasonal change. Participants will explore how light, soils, and disturbance shape edge communities in both natural and built environments.

Natural Communities & Seasonal Change is a three-part spring learning series that combines monthly webinars with guided field experiences to explore Maine’s native plant communities through the lens of seasonal phenology. The series focuses on how native trees and shrubs signal ecological change, support wildlife, and shape both natural and human landscapes. Participants will build skills in observation, plant identification, and reading the landscape as spring unfolds.
