Reading the Borestone Landscape with Alexandra Conover Bennett – Borestone Naturalist Series

We’ll walk the Fox Pen Loop trail with its varied habitat and lovely overlook view with one of this area’s most experienced naturalists, Alexandra Conover Bennett. Alexandra has been guiding and teaching in Maine’s North Woods for more than 45 years. In 2018 she received the Piscataquis County Outstanding Conservation Educator of the Year Award and in 2024 was the recipient of the Fly Rod Crosby Outdoor Lifetime Achievement Award from the State of Maine.

Meet at the Visitor Center.

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.
