 Wildlife Forestry Tour - Guided Walk
Date/Time: Saturday, June 28, 2025; 8:30am - 10:30am
Location: Frye Mountain Wildlife Management Area, Georges Highland Path - Montville, ME
Join MDIFW Forester Matt Rourke to learn how managing forests can create habitat for wildlife. Many acres in Maine were once historic farmland properties. When these pastures went fallow, turning back to wildlands, the forests grew up in dense patches and often lacked the mixture of plants and space that native wildlife need. Through careful planning and various forestry techniques, biologists and foresters at MDIFW have been able to create more productive landscapes for various wildlife ranging from squirrels and songbirds to deer, rabbit, and moose. Come explore current and future project sites at the Frye Mountain Wildlife Management Area and learn just how our staff are creating long-lasting, productive landscapes for wildlife. You just might find some inspiration for your property.
