The Sippican Lands Trust invites you and your family to enjoy two free summer event series this summer. We are planning a three-month run of our popular “storywalks” for young readers, as well as a guided tour of our properties each month throughout the summer.
Storywalks are a great way for families to spend time together in the outdoors and they promote literacy in nature. The following books will be on display for a month each at the following locations: June 15-July 15 at Brainard Marsh off of Delano Road, Frogs, Toads and Turtles by Diane Burns; July 15-August 15 at Osprey Marsh off of Point Road, Giraffes Can’t Dance by Giles Andreae and Guy Parker-Lees; and August 15-September 15 at Radio Tower off of Benson Brook Road (be sure to watch town dump hours of operation so you do not get locked in!), Tracks, Scats and Signs by Leslie Dendy.
Each month our Head Steward, Yelena Sheynin, will be offering guided tour of some of our most popular properties. The schedule and locations are as follows: Saturday, June 18 (raindate Sunday, June 19) at 10:00 am at Osprey Marsh off of Point Road; Saturday, July 23 (raindate Sunday, July 24) at 10:00 am at White Eagle off of Parlowtown Road; Saturday, August 20 (raindate Sunday, August 21) at 10:00 am at Hagemann Woods off of Point Road; and Saturday, September 10 (raindate Sunday, September 11) at 10:00 am at Radio Tower off of Benson Brook Road.
Founded in 1974, the Sippican Lands Trust strives to acquire, protect and maintain natural areas in Marion. Its purpose is to conserve land, protect habitat and offer public access to the beautiful protected lands of our town. Currently, its main focus is to develop more events and educational programs for nature lovers of all ages!
