The Curtis Homestead Education Program, an esteemed initiative by the Kennebec Land Trust based in Winthrop, has successfully wrapped up its sessions for the year. This educational program takes place on the historic 360-acre Curtis Homestead property located in Leeds, which once served as the family farm of former Governor Ken Curtis.
Participants in the program had the unique opportunity to engage with the land, learning about sustainable forestry practices, wildlife habitat management, and outdoor recreational activities. The sessions were guided by experienced professionals, including seasoned logger Nat, who imparted valuable knowledge on the importance of maintaining ecological balance while utilizing natural resources responsibly.
The Curtis Homestead not only serves as a beautiful backdrop for these educational experiences but also highlights the significance of preserving local history and promoting environmental stewardship. The program has garnered positive feedback from attendees, reinforcing its role in fostering a deeper understanding of land conservation and responsible management practices.
