New News!!

Upcoming Outings:

Bird Day at NPNA with Seth Benz:  Saturday June 2, 2012 at 7:00 am.  Call or email contact info above for details.  That said, remember that while June 2nd will be Bird Day, every day from now until the end of the year will be a part of the NPNA's Year of the Bird. As part of this, we are compiling a list of birds that have been identified there.  You can review how we are doing so far by going to the NPNA section on the Properties page, then clicking on the NPNA Year of the Bird link.  We need your help whether it be a new sighting, an anecdote, or a photograph - such as this collection of wood duck feathers that were found by sharp-eyed Downeast Outing Club birders during a day-hike at Northern Pond on April 26, 2012.

Mushroom Walk at NPNA:  Saturday July 21, 2012.  Time to be announced.  Date may change, so check here first

Day Hike at NPNA:  Wednesday July 11, 2012.  This will be an event co-sponsored by the Belfast Bay Watershed Coalition's Wednesday Walkers program.  Call or email contact info shown above for details

New NPNA Trail Guide: 

The Monroe Conservation Commission has updated its two-sided NPNA Trail Guide, and invites readers to download a colored copy for your use.  Find it on the Properties page.

The LHT Board of Directors voted acceptance of a 4th holding in the Town of Winterport on August 24, 2011.  The most attractive feature of this property is the river frontage along Cove Brook, a historic Atlantic Salmon spawning stream.  We will be becoming more familiar with this property over the next few weeks, so we urge you to click in to this site regularly. Until then, check out a photo we took of it this summer which you'll find on the Properties page.
