  • In Episode Two of Season Two, we learn traditional canoeing and camping skills with an all women's group, head north to visit the new Katahdin Woods and Waters Contact Station, follow Maine Island Trail Association (MITA) members as they clean up trash along the Maine Island Trail, and hunt for gems and minerals with rock hounds.
  • In Episode One of Season Two, we learn about the challenges and joys of hiking and camping with young kids, how the Maine Forest Services tracks and measures Maine's largest champion trees, and how to identify popular Maine trees. We also visit author and naturalist Bernd Heinrich at his off-grid cabin.

  • What are the benefits of having more wheelchair-accessible trails? They allow people with mobility challenges to have a chance to connect with the wonders of Maine's outdoors and each other.
  • Ocean water looks clear, but don't let that fool you: Inside just a small drop of water are thousands of plankton and other microscopic organisms. But what role do they play in the Gulf of Maine's ecosystem?
