The winter was very slow to start that is for sure. But it did arrive like it always does and we have had our share of cold and snow. In fact we are forecast to have another snowstorm on Friday. But the signs of the coming warm up are unmistakable.
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.
Today is one of those beautiful winter days that are mad for the chamber of commerce. The sky is crystal clear and blue with temperatures in the upper 20s and breeze as opposed to the strong winds of late. The snow only serves to round out a complete New England winter scene. The only thing wrong with the picture today is that I have a series of meetings that will keep me inside most of the day.
