The Allagash Wilderness Waterway (AWW) will be featured on “Bill Green’s Maine” (WCSH-TV / NBC affiliate) this Saturday, August 18th at 7:00 pm. It is scheduled to be the first story of the show. Bill interviewed AWW Supervisor Matt LaRoche and AWW Foundation Board member Don Hudson about Waterway activities and the recent Storied Lands & Waters project, which lays the groundwork for interpretation of Waterway features. The project was funded by the Foundation and developed in partnership with the Maine Bureau of Parks and Lands, which manages the Waterway.
