The Lincoln Home looks forward to hosting Chewonki, Monday, August 24, 3:00-4:00pm. We welcome the public to join us as we dive deep into shallow waters to take a closer look at the seasonal nature of a vernal pool and the impact it has on amphibian and invertebrate life cycles. We will learn that these species-rich spring pools help support food chains for a variety of animals living in adjacent ecosystems. We will develop an understanding of how so many cycles can be supported by a wetland that holds water for only a few short months.

The Lincoln Home is located overlooking the Damariscotta River, at 22 River Road, Newcastle. For more information, please contact our Director of Community Life, Rhonda Hanna, at 563-3350.
