This Saturday, June 7, from noon to 4 p.m., the Wiscasset Community Center, the Morris Farm, and the Town of Wiscasset will host a National Trails Day celebration, offering guided and self-guided tours of the adjoining Sortwell Memorial Forest, Morris Farm woods and fields, and the Town of Wiscasset woods. Guided trail hikes will be offered at 1 and 2 p.m., departing from both the Community Center and the Morris Farm.

Also on Saturday, from 10 a.m. until 1 p.m., the Morris Farm Community Plant sale will offer exceptional Maine grown perennials and heirloom tomatoes. The grand opening of the Morris Farm produce stand, operated by Buckwheat Blossom Farm, will occur simultaneous to the other events, throughout the day. Also, Buckwheat Blossom Farm will offer horse drawn wagon rides at the Morris Farm, from noon to 2 p.m. Live music and a potluck picnic and BBQ will punctuate the day, beginning at 4 p.m.

The public is encouraged to participate in the National Trails Day event. Open trails will be marked, and trail maps will be provided. The coordinated trails project is a multi-year project to develop this underutilized but important Wiscasset resource.
