Maine Sea Grant will offer in-person volunteer training for the Signs of the Seasons program at the Ecology Center in the Cathance River Nature Preserve, in Topsham, Maine, co-hosted by Brunswick-Topsham Land Trust. Participants will learn about the goals of the program, learn how to make scientific observations of phenology (the study of cyclic and seasonal changes of plants and animals), practice making phenology observations outdoors at the preserve, and leave with the tools and knowledge needed to set up their own site to observe and record changes in phenology in their own yard or community.

Registration is required for this free educational program, and will be limited to the first 8 registrants, due to the parking capacity at the site (carpools will allow for additional registrants).
