Three hours north of Portland, Maine, lies approximately 87,000 acres of pristine land known as the “North Woods.” This land is currently owned by a private foundation who wishes to donate this special place for the establishment of a national monument. This way its forests, bogs, rivers, and streams will be forever protected for current and future generations to explore and enjoy.
