Where: Marion Music Hall, Front Street
Leader(s): Sippican Lands Trust with speaker Brad Cook
Please join the SLT Board of Directors for a presentation by Brad “Old Buzzard” Cook entitled “Trail Dreams”- A transformational exploration of how connecting with the solace of nature and the dream of hiking “The Trail” altered and saved a life.
Brad Cook understands that it is our responsibility to shut off the electronic devices and connect with nature. After a successful 35-year career in public education, Cook has now focused his energy on getting children out into nature and away from screens. Cook’s own journey from a deeply troubled young man to an active, outdoor adventurer sparked his interest to initiate a complete physical, mental and spiritual transformation, a quest for more. Cook lives with his wife, Karen, and dog, Otis, and splits time between Maine and Massachusetts.
There will be a brief informational meeting prior to the presentation. Light refreshments will be served. Parking is available at the Island Wharf parking lot. This meeting is free and open to the public.
