On Saturday, June 25, from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m., a district forest ranger from the Maine Forest Service District Office in Gray will set up to demonstrate and display the tricks of his trade. Forest Rangers are involved in developing, advocating for, and promoting activities that encourage the sound, long term management of our forest resources, protecting the forest from the effects of fire, insects, disease and misuse; and providing accurate, relevant, and timely information about Maine forests to landowners and the public.
A special photo opportunity for kids will happen from 12 noon to 12:30 p.m., when Smokey the Bear will arrive to meet his fans. Bring your cameras for photos of Smokey with your children!
A summer series of wildlife exhibits and demonstrations targeted for the general public is offered throughout the season at the Maine Wildlife Park, located on Route 26 in Gray. ‘Wildlife Days’ are held on consecutive weekends in mid May, June, July, August, and are sponsored by the Friends of the Maine Wildlife Park. Presenters featuring a variety of wildlife topics will set up exhibits and demonstrations from roughly 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. on most Saturdays. We encourage visitors to stop by, ask questions and even participate in some activities.
