Author Jeff Romano will give a slideshow presentation showcasing hiking opportunities throughout New England with a focus on itineraries featured in his latest guidebook, an updated edition to “100 Classic Hike New England,” from 4-5 p.m. on Thursday, July 27, in the Androscoggin Community Room at the Auburn Public Library.

The program will cover destinations in all six states. Romano will share advice, provide insights, and answer questions on how and where to plan your next hiking adventure. The presentation will also include information on New England wildflowers, birds, wildlife, history, and conservation success stories.

Also joining us will be a representative from the Androscoggin Land Trust to talk about their conservation efforts and available trails.

Romano is a lifelong New England resident who has been hiking for five decades. He is the author of four other guidebooks: “Hike the Park Acadia,” “Day Hiking New England,” “100 Classic Hikes New England” (First Edition), and “Best Loop Hikes: New Hampshire’s White Mountains to the Maine Coast.” These publications will be available for sale after the presentation. He has also written numerous outdoor articles for the Boston Globe and other publications.

When not hiking, Romano directs public policy activities for Maine Coast Heritage Trust, a land trust that conserves and stewards Maine’s coastal lands and islands. He lives in Hallowell with his wife, and shares his passion for the outdoors with his family, including his two adult children.
