MAINE AUDUBON • July 3, 2023
In June, more than a dozen youth between the ages of 17 and 23 who are part of the WaYS (Wabanaki Youth In Science) Ancestral Lands Trail Crew camped out at the Fields Pond Audubon Center for a week of training prior to their summer work in Northern and Downeast Maine. The program participants will be doing trail work projects this summer in Acadia National Park, Katahdin Woods and Waters, Downeast Coastal Conservancy, and Maine Coast Heritage Trust. While at Fields Pond, the WaYS crew learned new trail maintenance skills and participated in a wilderness first aid course.
