PEMBROKE HISTORICAL SOCIETY
WILDFLOWER WALK
Led by Kris and Allison Paprocki
Saturday, July 12, 2025 at 11:00 AM
A view of the Pennamaquan River from the railroad trestle.
Maine Master Naturalists Kris and Allison Paprocki will lead a nature walk on July 12, 2025 from 11:00 AM to 1:00 PM for the Pembroke Historical Society. The focus of the walk will be the flora of Pembroke, and participants will be able to observe a number of the fascinating plants that help define the natural landscape of the town. The walk will start at the Pembroke Historical Society Museum at 11:00 AM and will take place at two sites on the Pennamaquan River: first the brackish marsh across from the museum and then the railroad trestle on the Sunrise Trail. Lastly, participants will gather back at the museum building for some closing discussion.
There is limited parking at the railroad trestle, so please expect to carpool with other participants. Bring water, a snack if you’ll need it, and good walking shoes. The walk will cover a little over half a mile on a mostly flat gravel road. In case of rain the event will be canceled. Please check the events page the day before if the weather is questionable.
