Discover Maine Public Lands

[@williamjmansfield8768]

From an 84 yo Mainer from "away", Thank you for this presentation AND what you are doing.

[@bobbyd642]

Loved living in Northern Maine as far as the gloriousness of the area. Wish more people could see and enjoy its beauty.

[@Mattius08]

One of the states I want to visit for a couple weeks. I love the wilderness and small towns up there

[@elizabethcanada1866]

You are the reason Maine is such a special place. Your dedication, expertise and knowledge is evident in the fantastic lands on Maine. Thank you so very much.

[@williamemmons8816]

Somewhere around 20 years ago we decided to get the all parks pass with a check off box on our Maine income tax return, we received our pass and a brochure on Maine’s preserve and conservation lands . For most of the years after I have spent a couple of weeks a year exploring them. Most of the time they were great experiences, then of course sometimes there is the occasional bad apple human experience. I am glad we have these wonderful places saved for future generations! I highly recommend you try them!

[@mjd111]

And that's why Maine is so special, less humans and more wildlife. My hope and the only thing I want to accomplish in the rest of this life is to retire to Maine. 🤙🦅🐻🦆🐿️🦔🐮🦂❣️✌️

[@jakedub58]

Wow you guys really have the ideal dream job. Thank you for preserving this natural paradise and all of the animals that call it home

[@Wildsurf52]

Favorite state on the east coast for sure. Hope I can live there one day!

Very interesting video. I was born in Maine but have spent 30 years abroad. I think it's time to come home.

[@LaBucci]

Beautiful America 🇺🇸 wish to one day exploring this beautiful state of Maine 🌲

[@gohst777]

I have always loved Maine and always will, such a vast landscape full of beauty with so much to do and so much to see.

[@lemon_tea.1138]

I have been writing a story called Forgotten Pines and have been trying to find the perfect place it should be set. A place with lots of forest and uncharted areas. Main is perfect and so absolutely beautiful :0!!! I want to go there so bad now and just wander around haha. Nice video :)

[@Ezmoshe1]

This video is great, love Maines public lands!

[@donaldpotter3071]

Lived in central Maine for 6 years. Owned a home in a small town. Had a paper mill close by. And one of Maine's major rivers.

[@community7874]

Was it the jay mill

Great video. You absolutely have a world class resource there and i sure hope i get to visit it one day

[@Joseshee]

I was born and raised in Bar Harbor, Maine and let me tell you, it may be cold, but I wouldn’t want to grow up anywhere else.

[@zwany9326]

Beautiful video

[@ericshermanbpr]

Actions speak louder than words. What a bunch of BS. If Cutko et al. really believed the words in this, they would be against Spain-owned CMP/Avangrid/Iberdrola's corridor. Leasing public land to them for it WITHOUT consulting the people of Maine, considering the damaging ecological effects, and not keeping any records of those closed-door transactions is an abuse and contradictory to what is stated. 5:30- "We are managing it, but it's the public's land, the public has a really important voice in how that land should be managed." "There's a lot of planning that's involved there, and we really need to hear from the public, adjacent land-owners, interest groups, really anyone who has a stake which is the state of Maine, and frankly beyond. So there's a lot of relationship management that happens. It's kind of like one big small town, and that's a really nice thing as far as working together, getting along, trying to be responsive to both the resource and the public, and finding balance there." Disgusting.

[@birdlady2725]

The boys club, and we're not in it. Bribes, bully, threaten and intimidate to get what they want.... I wonder if Maine leaders got new yahts for their agreement in that transaction. I am one of many that got extorted by cmp, and funny how puc "found nothing wrong". Hmmmm. Bought out/sold out.

Where's that big cliff at in maine

[@dingolightfoot8823]

Does maine have a lot of roads or is it mostly wilderness? I'm thinking about moving there

[@ktilton6637]

After you cut an area, do you use herbicides?

[@katydavis4289]

Damned Weyerhauser and other polluters do.

[@my_freelance_life]

A MAP specifically displaying the FREE public lands open to the public including FREE camping sites would be very helpful to accompany this video. Otherwise this is nothing more than a pretty PSA.

[@725k9]

If you do the slightest amount of research you can find that map, STFU, thanks!

I'm from Maine lived here all my life. You have you're ups and downs like every state I guess.

[@cassidykk]

Why no hunting footage?

[@tparker2095]

Why no foraging footage? Not everyone can be accommodated.

[@cassidykk]

Not foraging, hunting!!!

[@tparker2095]

@@cassidykk Yes, I read your comment. Again, not everyone can be accommodated (i.e. there was no foraging footage either). This video was made simply to examine the public lands of Maine. It's clear Hunting (shooting an animal on camera) may be a trigger to some, hence why it wasn't included. Your comment was pointless, and you don't need to be accommodated constantly, just be grateful for this footage they put together.

[@cassidykk]

T Parker no, not pointless. Just not comprehended. And who said anything about shooting an animal on film. If you shoot something every time you went hunting, it would be called shooting, not hunting. More land in this state, and this country is conserved due to the biggest conservationist force there is. The hunter!

[@markmosk]

imagine how LLBean feels with Cabelas getting those nice cameos? Producer should have been on that. beautiful footage though. a little drone heavy but everyone’s excited about their new toys.

[@AscherCODM]

Hi😅

[@fisherman5845]

Everyone talks about carbon it's .04 percent of the atmosphere I'm all for saving the planet we should talking about plastic solve the big problems

[@secretistobangtherockstogether]

So the video starts off great and then 180's into a PR pitch for logging Maine's remaining public lands. North Maine Wood's 3.5M+ acres aren't enough? Video seems like propaganda left over from LePage's regime. I'm not against land management but this reeks of for profit shilling

[@nicktozie6685]

Vat a vanderful plase

[@Justin12833]

Is this a joke? All the cozy crap they speak in here is PR bull. If Cutko really believed what he was saying they would be against Spain-owned CMP/Avangrid/Iberdrola's corridor. Didn’t they lease land without consulting the people of Maine with back door deals....very shady if you ask me. Iberdrola and Avangrid pay you to spew this propaganda. So many lies in this video it’s sickening.

[@bobbygreen2291]

I had a Maine resident deer Hunter to tell me that he was lucky to see one deer a season and I immediately knew better , I have watched all the videos from local people in Maine and seen all the deer and wildlife and wondered why this guy told me that ,, another thing I don’t understand is why are so many places up north illegal to feed the deer , is there really any difference in putting out corn and going to a standing corn field in wait for to see a deer ,,I don’t think so , either way a guy gets a week to hunt every year and there is always someone else who thinks he should not have the opportunity to participate in the preservation of the health and hunger of the deer he loves to hunt ,, but I would love to visit Maine someday and if I do I hope the bears don’t get me because I would not ever shoot one to eat , that would be way too much for me.

[@baraksinz]

I know this is a year later, but maybe I can shed some light. First of all, that Maine resident hunter probably was not lying to you. To see deer during hunting season in Maine, specifically in the northern regions, you must put in your time and miles on foot. Deer densities are extremely low and visibility in the thick woods is often limited to 30 yards or less. I spent several years adapting to different hunting methods because it’s a different hunting world up here. Sitting in a tree stand is not as productive as it is in the Midwestern states (I’ve lived and hunted both regions). Also, while we do have moose and bear, don’t expect to see them from the road. In my experience, apart from much time spent in the woods, moose sightings are infrequent and bear sightings are rare. In fact, I’ve lived in Maine for 7 years and have yet to see a bear in the state. I do have some trail camera photos of them, but they are elusive animals. As far as feeding the deer goes, it is illegal to bait them during hunting season because it limits the “fair chase” aspect of the hunt. I know there are different views on this, but that’s my preference and what the legislation says so…. Despite hunting being difficult in this state, it is one of the most rewarding places to hunt, and I’ve hunted deer and elk from the northeast to the Midwest to the Rockies.

[@bobbygreen2291]

@@baraksinz thanks for your experience on the subject ,,yes during deer season it is much harder to see deer anywhere,,,and I will tell you that if you ever bait deer , you will find it is much harder to see a mature buck at the bait than it would be if you did not bait in daylight that is , but at night they will come right to it. It has been legal here in North Carolina to bait deer for fifty years. And yes it is much more fun when you don’t hunt there and just sit on the edge of a corn field , or an apple orchard,,half of the county I live in is apple orchard,,,and they are sold all over the world from here.

[@tomjones2121]

This video started out nicely , then dissolves into the Pro Forestry propaganda that it is ..

Yes. We need wood-free homes

[@wolley2012]

Too bad most of it is half a days drive from any civilization. Maine comoared to alot of states is pretty bad in percentage of public land

[@shellchenonceau6987]

It is my understanding that native americans used to do controlled burning before the Europeans came. If that is true, they may have known that overgrown forests, if too choked, then certain wildlife, even insects & then trees, cant thrive in a choked forest...i can only hope the source I read was true. However, I think it would be great if trees could be culled rather than widespread slashed/burned. But I dont know enough about it. I heard that if you plant a tree, and someone doesnt make sure it is consistent ly watered, it dies. So are those charities that claim to plant thousands of trees watering them?

[@escapetherace1943]

the forests are designed to burn by nature, it's logging land and re-planting that's the problem. In nature they'd all be at different stages, but because they were planted all the trees are in the same space, overcrowded, and compete. this makes the fires larger, hotter, and less controlled. Naturally there would be some trees standing after a fire and new trees and underbrush would replace it, but not when they're all packed like matches.
