Tour Overview

This tour is of my 20 favorite trees on the property behind my home. This area use to be a cattle farm but the land owner has let the woods grow in and reserved just a few hay fields over the bast 30 years or so. The woods nearest the fields has very fertile soil. The property is split by a heath in the center. On the back side of the heath it is very wet and swampy.

On this I suggest a good pair of bog boots or waterproof hiking boots. Bring your camera or binoculars as well, the surrounding woods are absolutley filled with birds throughout the year and you may be lucky and see our nearby family of eagles patrolling the fields. As you approach the uphill woodline of the field you will be able to see Katahdin to the north and Blue Hill to the east. I hope you enjoy!
