SUMMARY:Monthly Meeting – Preserving Vacationland
DESCRIPTION:Preserving Vacationland \nThe history of the conservation of Maine’s parks and preserves \nThe top outdoor draw in Maine is Acadia National Park. The top-most point in Maine is in Baxter State Park.  \nMaine’s 281-mile stretch of the Appalachian National Scenic Trail is the second longest along its 2\,170 miles — and the most challenging. The Allagash Wilderness Waterway and Maine Island Trail are internationally known signature Maine experiences. \nMaine’s many outdoor experiences include kayaking through the Scarborough Marsh\, strolling through numerous nature preserves\, hiking through Wolfe Neck Woods State Park and canoeing the Saco River. \nAll of the above-mentioned activities and places have long been enjoyed by MOAC members.  \nTheir common denominator is that they take place on lands and waters that have been preserved for aesthetic and recreational values by many different programs and campaigns: federal\, state and local plus many private initiatives and collaborative efforts. \nThe story behind the conservation of these iconic natural and historic properties is the subject of Preserving Vacationland\, a fascinating PowerPoint show that details the preservation of many of Maine’s wild and scenic wonders\, beginning with the aspirations of Henry David Thoreau in 1853 and continuing to the creation of Katahdin Woods and Waters and other present-day happenings. \nIt has been presented at several historical societies\, conservation organizations and the University of Southern Maine. \nAbout the presenter: Scott Andrews earned a B.A. in history from the University of Chicago\, an M.B.A. from the Chicago Booth School of Business and an M.Sc. from the London School of Economics. A longtime MOAC member and trip leader\, Scott has visited virtually every park and property to be depicted and described. A longtime lifestyle journalist\, Andrews has written about two thousand articles on outdoor recreation and tourism for local and national publications. His first book\, A Century on Skis\, won the Skade Award of the International Skiing History Association. Preserving Vacationland will be his second book. \n\nIn addition to the speaker\, the meeting is a chance to hear about recent outings\, hear about upcoming outings\, and socialize with other MOACers.  It’s also a chance for new or prospective members to ask questions.  Meeting begins at 7:00\, but come at 6:30 to socialize and meet people. \nLocation: the Allen Avenue Unitarian Universalist Church\, 524 Allen Avenue\, Portland (near Northgate Shopping Plaza).  Here’s a Google Map link. \n\nZoom starts at7:00. On a good day\, if all goes well. Note that the ZOOM link has changed from the one published in the newsletter. \nhttps://us02web.zoom.us/j/86258465247?pwd=amNrVmhpcFZUYTZJWFhrcUwzNDR3Zz09 \nMeeting ID: 862 5846 5247\nPasscode: 807832
