Maine author Tim Caverly will lead an online presentation called “Allagash - New England’s Wild River,” hosted by Merryspring Nature Center, on Tuesday, January 9, at 12 p.m. 

Guests will travel back in time as they virtually canoe the famous 92-mile Allagash River discovering forgotten logging history and learning about Native American archaeology. Along the way, Caverly will share lore, legends, and first-hand accounts that he experienced during his 32 years as a Maine park ranger.

Caverly has self-published several books about New England's northern forest, and his stories have been printed in newspapers, magazines, and outdoor journals. He is a founder of the New England Reads literacy project.
