Is there a wild spot, a quiet park, an empty overgrown lot, a secret path in your village that leads to a forgotten stream, vernal pool, or a place to sit on a wide river or the grand ocean? What if you visited this place throughout the year and sat? Dedicated some time to be still or stroll through silently to observe the wildlife that calls this treasured or forgotten spot home. In this year of the virus, this quieting of our lives, it is a good time to discover the hidden gems close to your home. This is how I fell in love with Cobbossee Stream five years ago. ~ Tina Wood, Maine Master Naturalist, Upstream founder
