In-Person

3 sessions

Each session will be a walk or hike in various meadows, woodlands, or mountains in the vicinity of Farmington. The travel time to the trailhead will generally be between 30 and 45 minutes, and participants should plan to be on the trail for 1 to 2 hours. Efforts will be made to avoid difficult terrain, and a makeup date will be scheduled in the event of cancellation.

Approximately one week before each session, participants will receive an individual email detailing the travel plan, providing information about the destination, and offering suggestions on what to bring. 

July 25 & August 21, led by Ray Stillman

September 18, led by Nadine Marchand

Ray Stillman and Nadine Marchand have conducted many similar outings in past sessions.

The Maine State Society for the Protection of Animals (MSSPA) is unlike any other animal welfare facility in New England.Originally formed in 1872 to protect the horses that pulled Portland streetcars.

The Society now provides around-the-clock staffing and has access to veterinary services 24 hours a day. It maintains 100 equines on its farm facilities, animals which have been seized by Maine law enforcement officials and placed by court order with the society (provided the animals are not suffering) are kept for the entirety of their life or placed in forever homes.

The tour of this facility will be educational and inspiring.Please wear comfortable shoes or boots as the ground can be muddy.

Bring your own lunch, as there are picnic tables available.
