Outdoors enthusiast, author discusses wilderness living

New England author Tim Caverly will speak on “The Challenge of Wilderness Living” from 7-8:30 p.m. May 11 at Town Hall, 175 Northeast Road, Route 35. Along with a book signing, he will give his own personal account of being regional supervisor of the Allagash Region with the Department of Conservation and his 18 years of serving as supervisor of the Allagash Wilderness Waterway.

Caverly has self-published 111 Maine books for both children and adults to enjoy, including “Allagash Tails,” “The Ranger and the Reporter” and “Andy’s Surprise!: What a Moose, Ayuh.” He writes a monthly column for The Maine Sportsman magazine where he shares his own personal stories of living out in the wilderness.

Through book donations, Maine educational programs and book tours, he, with the support of his wife, continually encourages literacy in New England and the connection between readers and Maine’s great outdoors.
