Description

Did you know that North Maine Woods consists of 3.5 million acres between 23 industrial landowners?  North Maine Woods (NMW) was founded in the early 1970s to maintain balance between outdoor recreational users and Maine's largest industry of timber harvests. Bill shares with us the history of NMW and reminds us that recreators are guests on private land. He recommends some best practices to keep in mind when interacting with the working forests. Working together is the best way for us to continue to enjoy Maine's most remote wilderness. Learn more at northmainewoods.org

Unlike most states, Maine has a long tradition of public access to private land; but what that really means – and what private landowners expect – isn’t widely understood. Host Kris MacCabe will take listeners inside the long-standing yet delicate relationship between Maine’s owners and users – hearing from landowners about what motivates them to keep their property open for recreation and conservation, and in other cases getting the stories behind freshly-posted No Trespassing signs.
