LEEDS — The Kennebec Land Trust will sponsor an afternoon of family winter fun from 1 to 3 p.m. Sunday, Jan. 23, at the Curtis Homestead Conservation Area, the childhood home of former Gov. Kenneth M. Curtis.
Those attending should bring their own cross country skis, snowshoes and sleds and spend the afternoon exploring the 360-acre conservation property on the Bog Road.
Volunteers will be available to help beginners with skiing or snowshoeing in the 10-acre field or on one of the adjoining trails. Hot chocolate and snacks will be served around a bonfire in the field.
Those wishing may hike or snowshoe the Perkins Woods, Wayne, at 10 a.m. Saturday, Feb. 12, with stewards Stan and Jane Davis.
The property has a number of features, including a stand of white pines and hemlocks, pitch pines and 2,700 feet of shoreline on Androscoggin Lake. Normally, public access is only from the lake side, but the trust has permission to walk in through Camp Androscoggin, following a loop trail. Those going should meet at the entrance of Camp Androscoggin.
For more information and directions for either event, call KLT at 377-2848 or visit www.tklt.org.
