Susan,
My husband teaches in Skowhegan and used to take his 4th grade class to an
area in Norridgewock that fits your description.  That might be a bit far
for your group, but if you would like more information let me know.

Good luck!

Ann Gibbs

Dear Friends,
I am putting together programs for the Junior Naturalist Club of the
Stanton Bird Club for the coming year and our theme is forests.  There
is a student at Bates who is assisting me this year and we both would
like to take the kids (approx. 12 students in grades 2-6 and their
parents) to an old growth forest as close to Lewiston/Auburn as possible.
I know I have been to a pine stand of "Kings Arrow" pines north of here
with JBS in the distant past.  Winthrop?  Leeds?
I would be grateful for any help and info.
Thanks ,
Susan
