Discover a beautiful new storywalk on the Saw-Whet Trail: Mama’s Song by Julie Buchholtz. Together, seven Southern Maine conservation organizations are highlighting children's books by contemporary Indigenous authors on the trails. Through this project and future collaborations, we continue to learn about and honor the intersection of land conservation, outdoor exploration, and Indigenous communities. We invite you to explore all the stories at our neighboring land trusts. Learn more about the Indigenous Tales on the Trails initiative in our latest blog post: wellsreserve.org/blog/tales-on-the-trails-returns-with-new-stories-from-indigenous-authors
