"On behalf of Maine's Department of Conservation, a master Maine guide introduces the free amenities of the nearly one million acres of Maine's public lands, including hunting and fishing, with advice on how to prepare for a visit to the North Maine Woods"--Provided by publisher.

Loving the North Woods is a chronicle of the difficult challenges that led to tremendous conservation achievements in the great North Woods of Maine. Focusing on the remarkable period of activity from 1990 to 2015, during which historic achievements in American conservation unfolded, it explores how people love a place and how they bring that love into action. The stories of conservation in Maine’s North Woods, hidden in files of land trusts, state government archives, forest landowners’ records, and in the memories of those who participated, can inspire and guide us now and far into the future.

The Moosehead Lake Region connected great river routes through the northern wilderness. For thousands of years, Native Americans canoed these waters. By the 1830s, Moosehead Lake became a staging ground for early Euro-American logging, settlement, and outdoor recreation, with Greenville as its supply center. Early rusticators included naturalist writer Henry David Thoreau. Later, guides like Greenville Algonquin Henry (Red Eagle) Perley and Penobscot Roland (Needahbeh) Nelson promoted this "Gateway to the North Woods" as an outdoor traveler's paradise. It is still today. --adapted from publisher's description.
