Take part in Kennebec Estuary Land Trust's (KELT) Summertime Scene on Wednesday, July 8 from 9 to 11 a.m. at Reid State Park in Georgetown. The public is invited to traverse the softshell clam flats with Georgetown’s Shellfish Warden, Jon Hentz, and learn to dig clams. This event is great for kids!

Hentz has been warden for several towns in the Kennebec Estuary region for over a decade. He will share clam digging techniques as well as information about the local clam harvesting industry. Participants will discover the importance of clean water to the clams and the harvesters that dig them.

The program offered by KELT is free and open to the public. Participants will need to pay the state park entrance fee. This is a rain or shine event. Registration is strongly encouraged at www.kennebecestuary.org/kelts-summertime-scene and any questions can be directed to Becky Kolak at 207-442-8400 or bkolak@kennebecestuary.org. This program was generously sponsored by the Merrymeeting Bay Trust.
