The Fields Pond Journal is our most important tool for alerting Penobscot Valley Chapter members about the many Maine Audubon programs, events, and field trips we’ve planned for you. But, like everyone else, we are looking for ways to reduce our carbon footprint. If you would like to discontinue receiving a printed copy, we would be pleased to send you an email alert whenever the new Fields Pond Journal is posted here to the website. |

Thursday, January 14, 7 p.m.; snow date Tuesday, January 19 Presenter: Karl Kreutz, Associate Professor of Earth Sciences and Climate Change Institute, University of Maine Cost: $5/member; $6/nonmember |
