All about the woods and waters. Katahdin Woods and Waters National Monument, United States

Today, let us explore the Katahdin Woods and Waters National Monument in Maine, United States. It spans more than 354 square kilometres, where silence speaks through the rustling leaves and trickling streams. This area, a cornerstone of Maine's timber industry, now breathes tranquillity instead of timber clamour. Roxanne Quimby and her foundation started purchasing land near Baxter State Park in 2001 and donated it to the US federal government in 2016, ensuring its preservation for future generations. Katahdin Woods and Waters' diverse ecosystem provides a home for a variety of fauna, including moose, black bear, Canada lynx and numerous bird species like bald eagle and wood duck. It offers many outdoor activities for visitors, such as hiking, canoeing and camping. The monument has some of the darkest skies in the country due to the lack of electrical lighting in its vast expanse, making it a great place for stargazing.
