The program will start at 11:00 a.m. Yes, we know it’s a funny name, but here generations of Mainers have called it “Going up to Camp”. In Japan they say "<a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ShinrinYoku" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ShinrinYoku</span></a>,” which literally means "forest bath". Make time for yourself, life is hectic. Come over to slow down and connect with Range Pond’s forest and wildlife. Enjoy an hour of quiet. Prepare to be outside, that means black fly &amp; tick precautions. Bring a folding chair if you want to sit. Don’ts: Leave those bars of soap at home and please leave your phone in your car. Ranger Lori, a retired educator and lifelong outdoor enthusiast will facilitate this program. </p><p><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/BookSwap" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>BookSwap</span></a> at the Park<br>Saturday, August 9 &amp;23, 3:00—3:30 p.m. <br>Meet Ranger Lori at 3:00 p.m. at the flagpole near the park bath-houses.

In this activity, families will “adopt” a tree at the park, deepening their awareness of individual trees over time and encouraging a greater understanding and appreciation of their local environment. On your next trip to the Park, visit your tree and write down how the tree looks, feels, and smells to describe how your tree is changing. Ranger Lori, a retired educator and lifelong outdoor enthusiast will facilitate this one hour program. Printed Adoption Certificates and <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/TreeJournal" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>TreeJournal</span></a> pages will be provided.</p><p><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Wildlife" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Wildlife</span></a> that Lives Here <br>Sunday, August 10 &amp; 24, 4:00—5:00 PM <br>Meet at 3:45 at the at the flagpole near the park bath-houses.

Swede’s Photographs<p>Sunlit Tanager</p><p>When I first took this photograph, I thought I’d spotted my first goldfinch since spring. I was ready to write about changing seasons and the stirrings of migration. But I was off base—despite the early signs of falling leaves, this visitor wasn’t a goldfinch at all. I believe she’s a female Summer Tanager (Piranga rubra), though a Scarlet Tanager (Piranga olivacea) is another possibility. Her wings aren’t visible, but Summer Tanagers tend to wear a brighter yellow than their scarlet cousins.
