The Allagash is a Good Place for the Soul - Bill Green's Maine

The Allagash Wilderness Waterway (AWW) was featured on “Bill Green’s Maine” (WCSH-TV / NBC affiliate). 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.
