Insect Camp
Co-Sponsored by MOFGA - Hovering and whirring insects, life-giving to birds and invertebrates, are pollinating! Join to learn more about insect habitat and behavior, their ecology, reproduction, population dynamics and impact on agricultural production. Our teachers will cover landscape-design, natural beekeeping, learning how to mitigate pesticide impacts and create sanctuaries for these critical creatures on our farms and on our landscapes. You don't have to own land to learn how to help the insects. We will specifically talk about how to create plantings on common lands (church, school, playground, cemetery etc.) that benefits the native bees, butterflies, moths and other insects we share the flowers with. This session is compatible with attending the international beekeeping conference "Apimondia" in Montreal, and is conveniently enroute from many parts of the country via scenic Rt. One highway.

Cider Camp
Co-Sponsored by MOFGA. Once again we will make hard cider, but this time on a much grander scale. Come for the day or come for the week to gather and press apples with our home-built hydraulic cider press-- good for vinegar, good for sweet and good for a hard New England treat! Our cider-industry speakers will provide instruction and can give you a map of nearby orchards to explore and pick from-- or bring your own apples and jars. Our press is a ' community facility' for making liquid the abundance of feral pomological specimens in these beautiful fields, hedges and forest-edges. Washington County comes alive-- a family-friendly program that you can combine with other adventures downeast.
