Rachel Carson Wildlife Refuge

While on location for a photo shoot near Portland, ME; we came upon Rachel Carson's Wildlife Refuge, a beautiful setting of marshes, high grass, and forest. Although it was only for the animals (mainly migratory birds), you could look over 14 or so acres of the 9,125 that comprise the sanctuary.

Rachel wrote the book Silent Spring where she "simply and convincingly explained the connections between humans and all creatures of the Earth. She alerted generations to use chemicals with utmost caution, warning that their improper use has dreadful effects on public health and the environment."

This was a great find. It's located between Kittery and Cape Elizabeth, Maine. The particular section shown here was in Wells Maine on route 9. (Open sunrise to sunset).
