Places to Explore, Books by NRCM Members, and Much More
It’s time to start making your summer plans, and this year, there’s a special something to celebrate: our new Katahdin Woods and Waters National Monument (KWW)! Located east of Baxter State Park, KWW embodies what we love best about Maine’s North Woods: wild rivers and shimmering lakes; bold, beautiful mountains (including extraordinary views of Katahdin), an abundance of moose and other wildlife—and plenty of opportunities to enjoy it all! This year’s edition of Explore Maine provides “insider” tips from NRCM staff members on their favorite KWW spots for hiking, biking, paddling, birding, camping, and more.
Also highlighted are new, or newly discovered, books by our members, and a series of stunning photographs taken by some of our members who regularly contribute to our My Maine This Week website feature. We’ve got NRCM gear, sporting camp discounts, a photo contest, and more. Enjoy, and see you outside!

Maine Sporting Camp Discounts for NRCM Members
There’s nothing better than spending time in the woods or on a lake or pond this time of year. Many Maine sporting camps offer great discounts to NRCM members as a way to promote their business while providing us an opportunity to thank our members for supporting our work. I’m delighted that a few more camps have signed on to participate. To receive a discount voucher, please email me at nrcm@nrcm.org or call me at (207) 430-0106. For more information about the camps and their discounts, click here. Please note that to receive the discount, you’ll need a voucher upon your arrival. Questions? Feel free to contact me. —Beth D. Comeau, Public Affairs Coordinator
