Join Amanda Reimer from the Maine Appalachian Trail Club at Stratton Brook Hut on Friday, March 14th at 5pm for a free presentation into the alpine worlds of Maine. These “living museums” are home to unique plant communities, fascinating lichens and bryophytes, and resilient animals, all of which are adapted to survive in harsh, high-altitude conditions. Learn about the extraordinary nature of these ecosystems and what we can do to protect them for future generations.
Attendees may ski, snowshoe, or fat bike up to Stratton Hut. Be sure to bring a headlamp for the trek down, it will be dark by 6pm. Coffee and tea are provided. Overnight guests already at the hut can relax and enjoy the pre-dinner talk.
About the Speaker:
Amanda completed undergraduate coursework in Wildlife Management from SUNY Cobleskill and is set to complete her second Master’s in Geospatial Habitat Assessment in May 2025, focusing on alpine plant-herbivory interactions. For most of 2024, she worked as a Wildlife Biologist with Alaska Fish & Game, Foraging Ecology and Wildlife Nutrition. While in Alaska she spent many days hiking and exploring alpine systems alongside friends and experts from the Alaska Native Plant Society. Falling in love with these little worlds led her to return to the Northeast, where she now focuses on community outreach and alpine stewardship with MATC.
