December Happenings in the Wildlands… mark your calendars!

Christmas Greens Gathering… Dec. 7 & 14
Find your holiday tree the old fashioned way at the Christmas Greens Gathering, Sundays, Dec. 7 & 14, noon to 3 pm at the Great Pond Mountain Wildlands in East Orland . Cut your own free-range, organic Christmas tree and enjoy a hayride, bonfire, hot cocoa and home-baked goodies for only $25 per family. Pre-cut trees along with cutting and loading help will be available. Proceeds benefit Great Pond Mountain Conservation Trust. The Great Pond Mountain Wildlands’ South Gate is located on Rte. 1 in East Orland , just south of the Rte. 176 intersection. The North Gate is located on Bald Mountain Road in North Orland , just 0.2 mile west of Winkumpaugh Road . This year, both gates will be open and the event will be held on the Wildlands’ Valley Road at Great Meadow Trail, 3.3 miles in from South Gate and 1.1 mile in from North Gate. Watch for signs! For more information (no reservations needed), call 469-7190, e-mail cdomina@midmaine.com or visit www.greatpondtrust.org. The event will be cancelled in the case of rain or heavy snowfall.

Christmas Greens volunteers and bakers needed!
We can use lots of help again this year to make the Christmas Greens Gathering a success. We need volunteer cashiers, tree cutters, knot tiers, parking attendants, greeters, bonfire tenders, cocoa and cookie table staff - as well as people to bake homemade treats (that can be brought or dropped off the day before). We are also looking for a second hayride WAGON to use. If you can help, please call Cheri at 469-2008 or reply to this e-mail. Thanks!!
