Loon Echo Land Trust children’s wildflower walk set for Mother’s Day

BRIDGTON — The Loon Echo Land Trust is celebrating Mother’s Day by offering a free children’s wildflower walk from 10 a.m. to noon Sunday, May 14, at Mayberry Hill Preserve in Casco.

The one-mile easy trail walk will include activities and games to help participating children learn more about the natural world around them, including discovering trillium, lady slippers and other wildflowers in bloom. Parents and caregivers will learn tips and tricks for making their own outdoor adventures with their kids fun and educational.

Participants will meet at the Mayberry Hill Preserve trail head at 10 a.m. From Casco village center, turn right on Mayberry Hill Road and drive to the top of the hill. Turn left at the stop sign and the Preserve will be short distance on the right. Parking is available along the roadside at the trail head.

Participants are encouraged to bring water, snacks and bug spray. Loon Echo Land Trust protects nearly 6,700 acres of land and manages 31 miles of multi-use trails in the northern Sebago Lake region.
