Discover the history and ecology of Zak Preserve during a leisurely one-mile hike from 10 to 11 a.m. with a naturalist from the Boothbay Region Land Trust. Zak is BRLT’s largest preserve with 208 acres straddling the watershed of Wildcat Creek in the western half and its headwaters in the eastern half. It encompasses one of the few large open fields remaining on the Boothbay Peninsula and features salt marsh, wetlands, and extensive woods. Group size is limited for this free event and registration is required by filling out the online form at www.bbrlt.org/events or by contacting Environmental Educator Tracey Hall at thall@bbrlt.org.
