Earthways Guide Service & Dr. Mary Bove, ND team up for another beautiful journey back in time to a place rich with life and bio-historical evidence of nature-human collaboration.
A place once known as "The Frozen Ocean" for it's seemingly endless expanse of ice, key to the logging industry in Northern Maine. Twelve feet above where we paddle and pole our canoes today among healthy Joe Pye weed, Skullcap, Pitcher Plants, and Sphagnum bogs, once floated millions of logs, frozen in holding over the winter for release with the spring break up. Lumbermen once walked across those logs, on waterways that are now home to Otter, Moose, Bald Eagle, Freshwater Mussels, and singing Loons among many others in this abundant living community.
Learn about this history and how it has impacted the landscape. Master Maine Guide Ray Reitze first encountered this magical place early in his guiding career, and he has cultivated a relationship with this ever shifting landscape throughout his four decades of guiding people into the bush.
This trip is a unique opportunity to learn deeply connected place-based knowledge cultivated through decades of sharing life here by Master Guide Ray Reitze, layered with the plant-based wisdom cultivated through decades of relationship with plants and the study of human relationships with plants that Mary Bove embodies, while guided and served delicious food by Patrick and Andrea Dole.
We look forward to deepening these relationships and connections, enriched by the unique stories and wisdom brought by each of our guests, again this year.
