Zoos exist for conservation education, which I believe is highly needed in our time.

I thought I’d share a photograph of this summer’s trail crew. Once more we’ve been working on the Fire Warden’s Trail leading to the summit of No. 5 Mountain located in Township 5 Range 7, Maine. It’s been a three year trail improvement project that’s proved to be a huge success thanks to the smarts, sweat, and non-stop energy these conservation rockstars have given. My role, in reality, has been incredibly limited, but it’s clear that this was a good thing. All the micro-scale, on-the-ground decisions were made by these guys – problem solving on the spot to best ensure protection of the resource while providing the visitor enhanced connection to the outdoors. And in a fashion that has proved seamless and mostly unnoticeable. This to my mind stands testament to the skill and brilliance these young best of the best brought to Maine. As I look at this photo and think about this final year of trail work, I’m reminded of how lucky I’ve been to play my minor role as cheerleader, and I’m inspired by the wonderful act(s) of service I’ve witnessed on behalf of our shared natural heritage. …my deepest gratitude to the Student Conservation Association, and most importantly, all most directly involved on site (you know who you are.). You’ve left a huge, long lasting impression from many perspectives, and again, thank you. ~Dan G.

Sadly, this is one of the few photographs I’ve made this summer. It’s an image of my field crew taken up along the Moose River, and they have been busy. You see, I manage conservation lands in Maine, which means that I get to spend time with some incredibly inspirational individuals. Self-motivated, team oriented, smart, thoughtful, inquisitive, dedicated to task-at-hand, and environmentally conscious… These people represent the best of young America, a cross-section spanning the country, and it’s my pleasure to cheer them on.
They’ve been focusing their boundless energy on rebuilding an old Fire Warden’s trail, leading to the summit of No. 5 Mountain. The three mile pathway dates back to the 1930’s. Few switchbacks or erosion control measures, so over the past 80 years it has significantly degraded. But the crew has been rebuilding and rerouting. Diverting water with rock and wood… Turnpikes, waterbars, bog bridging, optimizing trail grade, French drains, bench cuts, stone staircases… The end goal is protecting the resource while ensuring visitor connection to the outdoors, and I’m positive that they’ve met their mark.
I’m so lucky to have had this time with them. A humbling experience... And as the shirts say, Conservation Begins Here. Yes, our shared natural heritage is in good hands. So, who wants to go for a hike?

This eurasian lynx was a fast mover. They've got a "lower concern" on the critical list but have suffered local extinction in some areas.
I haven't been here much lately but if you're interested I've been more active on g+ at gplus.to/carlstovell
Still love flickr but not enough hours in the day lately!
