Friends of Moosehorn Will Celebrate National Wildlife Refuge Week

To celebrate National Wildlife Refuge week, Oct. 8th-14th, , Friends of Moosehorn will be at the Moosehorn’s Fall Colors Auto Tour offering free mulled cider and refreshments to visitors for their enjoyment as they travel the route on Saturday, Oct. 14th from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.

The Auto Tour has been open during daylight hours from Sept. 23rd and will remain open through Sunday, October 15, 2006. The Auto Tour is a 4.5 mile one-way route beginning at the Howard Lake Road (off of Charlotte Rd., Baring) The tour is a wonderful opportunity to take in the splendor of fall colors and to see a part of the refuge normally not seen by automobile. Much of the area has been managed to provide a wide variety of forest habitat. Visitors can pickup an explanatory pamphlet at the start or by stopping in the Headquarters Building.

Moosehorn National Wildlife Refuge has over 50 miles of gravel roads like the ones in the Auto Tour. With the exception of the tour route, all roads are closed to vehicle traffic. However, they are open to hiking or mountain biking. A complete trail map is available in the information kiosk or in the Headquarters office.

The Friends of the Moosehorn is a non-profit organization committed to the programs and activities of Moosehorn NWR to help accomplish its goals and objectives for the enhancement of wildlife populations and their habitats. The regular monthly meetings are held every first Wednesday of the month at the Headquarters Building, 6:00 p.m. Membership is just $10.00. Visit our website: www.friendsofmoosehorn.org

For more information about Moosehorn NWR, National Wildlife Refuge Week, the Auto Tour, or the Friends group, you can call the Refuge at 454-7161 or contact: Friends of Moosehorn, 103 Headquarters Rd., Unit 10, Baring, ME 04694

Raven Trail

  The Raven trail has been adopted by the Friends.  This was the first big project the Trails Working Group of the Friends of Moosehorn have undertaken.  The trail has been revamped with new signs, blazes and a new boardwalk with help from the YCC, staff at the Moosehorn and volunteers.  

    GREAT JOB!!
