Hunter Safety: Firearm Skills and Exam Day

with Tim Knedler

Sep

Next session: September 25th, 2021

$10 More Info

We are beginning a waitlist for this in-person instruction on Saturday, September 25, 2021. Once we have enough students to hold the class, we will contact you to convert your waitlist registration to an actual registration. Please call 657-9612 with any questions.

The Dept. of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife's Hunter Education Course is more than a 'gun safety' class. The basic mandatory course is taught by trained, certified volunteer instructors according to statewide standards. The course is made up of an "at home" portion before the classroom instruction.

#1 - Students must successfully complete the free online Official Maine Hunter Safety Course at: https://www.hunter-ed.com/maine/

#2 - Students print their voucher (that is valid for one year) and this will allow attendance at a Skills and Exam Day. Please make sure you print this voucher and bring it with you.

#3 - Students register for the Skills and Exam Day!

#4 - Students bring a complete survival kit with them to Skills and Exam Day. For more information on the survival kit, go to: https://www.hunter-ed.com/maine/studyGuide/Survival-Kit-Requirements-for-Maine/201022_700118753/

Please note: if you arrive at Skills and Exam Day without your voucher and survival kit, you will not be able to complete the course. No refunds will be issued.

Students should bring a snack/light lunch with them (as class work continues through lunch time) and dress to be outside.

Please call 657-9612 or email gngadulted@sad15.org with any questions.

Minimum age is 10 and students under 14 must be accompanied by an adult.

Forest Therapy

with Maureen LaSalle

Jul

Next session: July 27th, 2021

$35 More Info

We invite you to join Maureen LaSalle, of Leaf it Behind, for a 2 to 3 hour therapeutic forest bathing walk.

Maureen is a trained guide with the Association of Nature and Forest Therapists. Through a series of invitations, this leisurely walk will immerse participants in the natural beauty of the woods in winter. Forest bathing has been shown to lower blood pressure, prevent stress and anxiety, increase cognitive functions and boost immunity - things we can all benefit from during these challenging times. Maureen uses techniques that encourages participants to tune into their senses and be present in the beauty of what is around you.

This guided session will bring participants no further than a ½ mile walking distance. Attendees must be 16 years or older. Pets are not allowed. The "extreme weather" reschedule date will be Sunday, April 11th at the same time. A list of items each student must bring with them will be included in your email receipt. We are limiting each group to 6 participants.

Masks are required and proper social distancing will be maintained.
