Watch or Do This
  • Follow these directions for a scenic Sunday drive, any day of the week
    With so much still closed in Maine, consider the old-fashioned tradition of a scenic drive, slow enough to take in local vistas you normally speed by.
  • Nature checklist: See if you can spot these plants, animals and more!
  • via wolfesneck.org
    Explore the grounds at Wolfe’s Neck Center
  • via projectpuffin.audubon.org
    Watch Maine animals in their natural elements on Audubon’s live cams
  • via maine.gov
    Watch ‘Untold Secrets,’ a film about Maine Public Lands
Go for a hike
  • Some common sense tips to keep you (and others) safe when hiking
    It's restorative to get outdoors during this time of self-isolation as long as you adhere to safe practices.
  • Celebrate the state’s bicentennial with a dozen great hikes
    Individually and altogether, these represent spectacular Maine regions, history and natural features.
  • There’s plenty of breathing room in these nearby wildlands
    Now would be a good time to explore these large preserves in southern, central and midcoast Maine that offer miles of trails, fresh air and solitude.
  • Hiking: Contemplation and rejuvenation on the 3 Bridges Trail
    A short, new trail along Peters Brook in Blue Hill encourages the hiker to slow down.
  • Hiking in Maine: Remarkable vistas atop Mt. Abraham
    What makes this peak so special is the huge amount of alpine terrain it supports.
  • Phew. Mt. Cutler in Hiram has (finally) been conserved
    So you can hike the five miles of trails on 170 scenic acres without worrying about the possibility of development.
