WAYNE — Cary Memorial Library will present a program on Katahdin Woods and Waters National Monument at 1 p.m. Saturday, March 4.
The program is free and open to the public.
Retired biologist Paul Johnson will speak about Maine’s newest national monument, highlighting its features, especially along the East Branch of the Penobscot River.
Since 2008, Johnson has spent a few days each summer working on a campsite and portage trail stewardship project on a section of the Penobscot River’s East Branch. This has allowed him opportunity to see and appreciate the natural resources and rich history of an area now part of a national monument.
Johnson worked for the Maine Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife in the Moosehead Lake Region. In retirement, he remains committed to efforts to conserve Maine’s natural resources and to maintain their traditional uses.
He serves on the board of directors of Maine Woods Forever and the Allagash Wilderness Waterway Foundation.
The library is at 17 Old Winthrop Road, just off Route 133. The library is wheelchair-accessible.
The snow date will be Saturday, March 11. For weather postponement questions, email [email protected].
