CBCA in Autumn

Medium: film photography
Description: The deciduous trees’ rich, autumnal colors beloved across Maine peer out from behind their evergreen neighbors. Orono’s Caribou Bog Conservation Area is vitally important to local animal and avian communities but it is also a place critically important for human communities, as runners, birders, cyclists, hikers, photographers, skiers, and others use the property’s many trails, observing the natural world and building relationships grounded in time spent outdoors. Multi-use parcels like this are just one important piece of the conservation puzzle within Maine, for they serve as opportunities to connect people with the natural world and the human communities centered around it.
