While it is understood that mowing is necessary to maintain open space in Maine, the practice of mowing continues to be misunderstood and ecologically disruptive. One of the easiest ways to cultivate habitat is to stop mowing during summer months so that flowers may bloom to feed pollinators. Leaving plants to mature into seed feeds migrating birds, is an important food source for winter resident birds and allows meadow plants to regenerate. This event will focus on integrating creative approaches to meadow maintenance. Drawing from the rich history of sacred geometry and walking as an arts practice to embody the landscape, we will explore ways of understanding the non-human species that call this place home. Participants will learn mowing techniques to tackle aggressive plants, alternate mowing areas and maintaining paths to allow easy access to meadow spaces. We will learn ways of increasing diversity by setting up native plant nurseries and dispersing seeds. Saturday, July 10th, 2-4pm: Mowing to support Wildlife Participants are invited to walk the Tapley Farm Labyrinth to meditate on our relationship with the land in an open meadow context. Workshops on maintaining meadows to support wildlife will help us understand how to tend open meadows to support birds and pollinators. Rain date forthis event will be held the next day at the same time. Tapley Farm: 173 S Wharf Rd, Brooksville, ME 04617 More information & registration through the Blue Hill Heritage Trust: 207-374-5118 Participants may register for one or both events.
