is open mid-April through Veteran’s Day and offers an exciting array of activities on Saturdays. Birders will find a wealth of resources about spying avians from plovers to puffins on the mainebirding- trail.com. Take advantage of bird walks led by knowledgeable Maine Audubon guides in Falmouth and Scarborough. If you haven’t been to the Coastal Maine Botanical Gardens in Boothbay, you’ve missed one of the state’s natural gems. As well as glorious formal gardens, you’ll find massive ledges covered in mosses, lichens and ferns, native forest, and nearly a mile of sparkling waterfront. To the west of Portland, in nearby New Gloucester, 5,000-acre Pineland Farms offers trails for walking, running and mountain biking as well as 25 km of groomed trails for classic and skate Nordic skiing. Stroll through the perennial, herb and vegetable garden and explore Pineland’s fields and forests. The premises also house a working farm and creamery and a world-class equestrian center. Not far to the north, McLaughlin Garden features mature perennial beds and the largest collection of lilacs in New England; the garden is open daily free of charge May-October.

Wildlife watching has long been an interest of visitors to Maine and many come hoping for a glimpse of North America’s tallest land mammal, the moose. Although moose range all over the state, they are more commonly seen in northern and western areas. At Northwoods Outfitters in Greenville you can glide gently in a canoe or kayak on a moose wildlife safari or take an interpretive nature tour on land with a registered Maine Guide. Other awe-inspiring mammals visitors hope for a chance to view in their natural environment are the sleek and graceful denizens of the sea. Join Odyssey Whale Watch on a search for humpbacks, fin- backs, minkes, dolphins, and sea turtles. Departing from the Portland waterfront, and cruising up to 20 miles out to known whale feeding grounds, Odyssey main- tains nearly 100% sightings on their trips. Farther south, the Maine Wildlife Park in Gray gives a permanent home to wildlife that cannot survive in the wild because of injury or earlier captivity. There you’ll get a close-up look at over 25 species of Maine wildlife such as moose, lynx, black bears, mountain lions, kestrels, and barred and great horned owls. The park
