We want to thank everyone who braved the chill and came out to visit the Evegreen Outdoor Education Center on Sunday. It was great to see family and friends, make new friends, and share our mission with folks from the community. We are excited about the opportunities to serve the community with meaningful programs and experiences and look forward to seeing you all again soon.

Stop by for some snowshoeing on the trails, hang out by the fire, toast a marshmallow, and make a s'more. We would love to see you and tell you about our programs and services and what is in store for the future of the Evergreen Outdoor Education Center.

We are happy to announce that our new outdoor education center is open!
Located at 45 Andrew Drive, in Auburn.
Currently, we have our snowshoe trail open for use. It is a 3/4 mile loop trail that will take you through the site of future outdoor classrooms and experiential learning areas. Feel free to come out and have a look, if the office is open you can stop in and have a hot cocoa or tea to warm up with by a fire.
We will be posting about classes and learning opportunities soon.

So begins another outdoor education weekend. Orienteering, flagpole installation, hiking, riparian zone lesson, and camp cooking. The weather is perfect, the site is prepped, nothing left to do but teach, learn, and have some fun in the outdoors.

Had a fun day talking water safety with some wonderful groups of children in downtown Lewiston. Such great energy and excitement in this community. We are looking forward to growing programs here with some great community partners.

Here is a great article discussing a really fun class we have enjoyed teaching recently.

Sure there's GPS — until there's no signal or the batteries die. But if you have a compass and some know-how under your belt you could save your life. And win national competitions.

We had a great day with Androscoggin Land Trust and Maine Audubon Stream Explorers class at the YMCA Outdoor Learning and Education Center.
We were able to discover a wide variety of species and beautiful specimens. We learned to make an assessment of water quality based on the organisms that live in these waters.
This is an incredible program with a hands on citizen scientist approach. We look forward to continuing to make this class available to our community.
