Newsletter

As I have written several times over the last year or so. I think that Maine Outdoors is actually in the conservation education business. My goal is for each client to learn something new about the environment that gives them a deeper appreciation for our world. Of course that has a variety of facets from the family fishing trip where we have an eagle watch us fish, to working with the Board of Directors of the Maine Conservation School or Unity College or even explaining the realities of a decision to a legislator.

Yes it is an honor to be recognized by my peers in tourism but the quotes from clients were most enjoyable part. The press release on the event from the Maine Office of Tourism is included in this newsletter. But first a weather report; yes it is snowing here today and we are forecast to get over a foot of new snow. There are blizzard warnings posted until early tomorrow morning. The current temperature is 12 with a northeast wind of around 30 miles per hour.

Winter has settled in after a stretch of very cold days the temperatures are what I would call seasonable. It is in the teens at night and twenties during the day. We have lots of sunshine and bright blue skies to contrast with the snow on the ground. The daylight is around for almost an hour more each day than it was a month ago so even with the cold the days do not feel as dreary. Argy and I both commented on the pleasant afternoon light this weekend.
