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!

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
