For this winter’s Great Maine Outdoor Week, the Kennebec Estuary Land Trust invites folks to take a for a mindful nature walk at Bath’s Butler Head Preserve at 9 a.m. Saturday, Feb. 10.

Led by KELT volunteer Bobby Carnicella, walkers will take part in a slow-paced guided walk through the woods. Carnicella is a clinical psychologist who works at Sandcastle Clinical and Educational Services in Lewiston.

The goal of this event is to encourage participants to engage their senses fully and to become attuned to what is happening in their surroundings. The walk will be mostly silent with occasional stops and cues along the way. The walk will last approximately one hour and cover moderate terrain.

Butler Head Preserve is owned by the city of Bath and protected by a conservation easement held by KELT. The Bath Community Forestry Committee maintains the trail network and manages the property. At 141 acres, Butler Head Preserve is forested with shoreline along Merrymeeting Bay and Butler Cove.

Because winter weather can be unpredictable, this event will only be postponed in the case of severe weather. RSVP by contacting Anna Christie-Carnicella at acarnicella@kennebecestuary.or g, call (207) 442-8400, or signup online at kennebecestuary.org/mindful-meditationwalk.
