Need some respite from the chaotic world? Want to lean into nature with others in your greater queer community to find mindfulness and some fun, summer connection? The Shaw Cherry Hill Farm trail in Gorham is teaming with birds, wildflowers, a white pine forest and us queers! Come alone or with your chosen family members and meet birds, plants and one another, and additionally learn about the natural world.This trail, located on beautiful Wabanaki land, is accessible for wheelchairs and strollers. It is a mostly flat gravel/sand path. The trail has parts with a meadow, so please consider sunscreen or a parasol. Bug spray is also highly encouraged. Bring binoculars, if desired, to see who is flying about!
Note: Please communicate any accessibility concerns or questions at registration and the walk leader, Grove, would be happy to contact you to discuss the aspects of the trail and the walk in more detail if desired.
Grove (they/she) is a plant, tree, bird and ecology hobbyist; a botanical illustrator for Fedco Seeds; and is currently a student of the Maine Master Naturalist program. They have led many plant identification and ethical foraging walks for people of all ages. Grove enjoys bringing people together to find queer joy and healing in nature, practice mindfulness outside, and become sensory animals in the woods.
