Fogler Library event advanced in Press Herald article on new Baxter plant guide

The Portland Press Herald reported on a new book by Glen Mittelhauser, one of Maine’s leading naturalists. This month marks the release of “The Plants of Baxter State Park,” which contains the first complete inventory of the park’s 857 types of plants, information gathered over five years, according to the article. The guide was co-written with botanist and UMaine researcher Alison Dibble and six others, the article states. UMaine’s Fogler Library will host one of three events around the state to celebrate the publication of the book. The event will be held at 7 p.m. Aug. 23 in The University Club. Light refreshments will be served.
