Basecamp Speaker Session: Phrenology of a Floodplain
2025-11-20 18:00 - 19:00
Over the course of ten months, as a Maine Master Naturalist in training, I returned to the recently decommissioned floodplain at Somerset Woods Trustees’ Wesserunsett Stream Preserve to document how the landscape shifted through the seasons. It was incredible! Each return visit showed me something new: water rising or falling, sunlight shifting, life awakening or quieting. Together, those moments revealed how every species here is tuned to this unique ecosystem.

1st Annual Skowhegan Outdoors Harvest Relay Race
2025-11-22 09:00 - 12:30
1st Annual Skowhegan Outdoors Harvest Relay
Saturday, November 22 • 1.39 miles x relay • $20/team (Under-18 teams: FREE)
Grab 1–3 friends and tag-team a fast, fun out-and-back from the Basecamp Gear Library across the walking bridge to the far end of the Debe River Walk—and back. Teams of 2–4 runners trade off by high-five at Basecamp until the final runner crosses the finish. Fastest relay wins (mixed teams welcome), with swag and bragging rights on the line—and maybe a bonus prize or two 👀. Light aid at the Debe turnaround, cozy vibes at Basecamp. New to running? Perfect. This one’s about community, not PRs.
Course: 1.39 mi total per leg: Basecamp → walking bridge → Debe River Walk far end (aid/turnaround) → back to Basecamp.
Fee: $20 per team; teams with all runners under 18 are free.
