Column: ‘Conversations’ with the Caverlys a comical read

SUN JOURNAL • June 10, 2023

Brothers Buzz and Tim Caverly have spent a lifetime working in the Maine outdoors. Both are bona fide legends in their own time and both dedicated their working lives to public service and outdoor recreation — Buzz as a ranger and director in Baxter State Park and Tim as Supervisor of the Allagash Wilderness Waterway for 18 years. Combined, the brothers spent 78 years as conservation officers overseeing Maine’s two premiere wilderness sanctuaries. You just don’t do this amount of time managing and protecting beloved wilderness retreats without racking up real-life adventures and a repertoire of memorable outdoor stories. “Conversations” is Tim’s latest book. It is an easy, enjoyable read that left me laughing. ~ V. Paul Reynolds
