A natural treasure in our neighborhood

To the editor:

     Thanks to Aislinn Sarnacki for reminding us in the Aug. 19 BDN 1-Minute Hike about the treasure so near to me: the Aroostook National Wildlife Refuge in Limestone. I drove over to walk the Don Lima trail, which was featured in the 1-Minute Hike. I observed a horned owl, which was well camouflaged, sitting on a dead tree.

     The refuge’s gift store had several interesting displays of animals and related items, as well as well-stocked shelves with many gifts appropriate for our grandchildren. Please make a visit and support this valuable resource.
