MAINE WILDLIFE PARK
HOSTS 2004 WILDLIFE DAYS FOR THE PUBLIC
On Saturday July 17th there'll be a lot going on!
The Maine Chapter of the Wild Turkey Federation will
set up and staff a display featuring the wild turkey.
Wild turkeys were eliminated from their native Maine
range by the late 1800s, but have been restored to
Maine in ever increasing numbers through the efforts
and contributions of the Department of Fish and Wildlife
and the Maine Chapter of the WTF.
In addition, the Maine Bow Hunters Association will
also be on hand with a display and to answer questions
about the growing sport of Bow Hunting. Special archery
seasons have increased bow hunting opportunities,
especially in more urban areas where firearms are
prohibited. Many urban and suburban landowners encourage
bow hunters where large local deer populations are
troublesome.
A summer series of wildlife exhibits and demonstrations
targeted for the general public will be offered throughout
the season at the Maine Wildlife Park, located on
Route 26 in Gray. 'Wildlife Days' are held on consecutive
weekends in mid May, June, July, August, and are sponsored
by the Friends of the Maine Wildlife Park.
Presenters featuring a variety of wildlife topics
will set up exhibits and demonstrations from roughly
11:00am to 2:00pm on most Saturdays. We encourage
visitors to stop by, ask questions and even participate
in some activities. Four popular 'Night Visits' will
also be offered, when the park opens on moonlight
evenings for a July "Creatures of the Night"
Hike from 8-10pm; an August "Owl Prowl",
from 8-10pm, and, because of their tremendous popularity,
two October "Halloween Night Hikes", from
6-8pm.
The Wildlife Park Nature Store has been renovated
and is open with wildlife and nature merchandise for
all ages; and the Friends of the Maine Wildlife Park
'Snack Shack' sells ice cream, soda and light snacks,
with all monies raised donated to the Wildlife Park
for wildlife exhibit improvements and new construction.
The Maine Wildlife Park has over 25 species of native
wildlife on display, plus wildlife gardens, nature
trails, and other interactive exhibits and displays.
The park is open daily through November 11th from
9:30am-4:30pm; visitors must leave the premises by
6:00pm. Admission to the park is free for ages 3 and
under; $3.25 ages 5-12; $5.00 for adults, and $4.00
for seniors.
Groups of 15 or more are $2.50 per person. Bring a
picnic and spend the day! Family and Community Season
Passes are available.
