Borestone’s Macroinvertebrates: A look into fishless ponds – Borestone Naturalist Series

Join us to explore the wonderful interactions between organisms living in an incredibly unique habitat: Borestone’s fishless ponds! These ponds allow for macroinvertebrates such as dragonflies and damselflies to flourish, as well as their amphibious predators.

Encompassing almost 1,600 acres in Maine’s Hundred Mile Wilderness region, Borestone Mountain Audubon Sanctuary offers a spectacular array of natural features, including rare older forest, three crystalline ponds, exposed granite crags, and sweeping, panoramic views. Hiking trails lead to the summit and other viewpoints, and a seasonal Visitor Center includes displays and a small Nature Store. The entrance gate is just off Bodfish Valley Road, Elliotsville, and the Visitor Center is a 1.3-mile walk up the access road.
