Presentation on Maine wildflowers
WAYNE — Wayne’s Cary Memorial Library will present “Wildflowers of Maine” at 1 p.m. Saturday, Jan. 17.
Paul Johnson will give a slide show presentation on Maine wildflowers at the Cary Memorial Library.
Prior to retiring in 2005 Johnson worked as a fishery biologist for the Maine Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife in the Moosehead Lake Region. In his travels throughout the region he was intrigued by the diversity of plant and animal life found in the Maine Woods. Over the years he attempted to capture in photographs the things he saw to share them with others.
His program will highlight some common, as well as some not so common, wildflowers found in Maine’s woodlands, wetlands and open lands.
Should inclement weather prevent safe travel on the 17th, the “snow date” for this program will be Jan. 24 at the same time and place.
For further information, phone 685-3612.
