Naturalist Workshop Series: Porcupine Meander • Midcoast Conservancy

  • Bass Falls Preserve 1828 Alna Road Alna, ME, 04535 United States (map)

Join us for a walk at Bass Falls Preserve to search for early signs of spring and talk about Porcupines. We’ll follow the trail through private fields, into the woods, and down to the Sheepscot River where sits an abandoned fisherman's cabin taken over by porcupines. With luck we’ll find some quills to examine and skat to avoid. These common woodland rodents waddle their way through life, hanging out in trees, nibbling hemlock and relying on their quills to defend themselves against predators.
