Tour Overview

These are my favorite 20 trees that are around the town Unity Maine. Unity is a small town with lots of open space mixed in with heavy forests. There are plenty of trees that are alongside of Unity Pond and that is where majority of my favorite trees are. It is always wet and muddy around the waters edge with few trees however a few feet from the pond there plenty of different tree species which have caught my eye.

Along this walk to be prepared for multiple different surfaces I personally recomend a good sturdy pair of boots. In Maine the weather can change at any time and can make the walk muddy or even snowy and icy. With this in mind make sure you know what the weather is like before making the walk. I also recomend a pair of long pants to prevent scratching up your legs as you walk through some parts of thick brush.
