A Thompson Free Library Event

Essentially, Michael Good and Sandra Neily are optimists who are and have been Maine Guides. They believe that the more people know about our outdoor assets and the risks they face, the more they’ll support various solutions.

“Michael educates out in the field during nature and birding tours, and, after decades working in the conservation field, I now craft stories that are field trips into Maine’s woods, waters, and wildlife habitat, “Neily says. “And I’ll have books for sale.”

Their presentation, “Live Birds and Deadly Forces,” offers up Good’s short PowerPoint of birds and habitat at risk, a reading from Neily’s last novel along with a drawing for a free copy of it, and plenty of time for comments and questions.

“We’ll share out some Maine Outdoor Lottery tickets ..,. as long as they last,” Good said. “That fund supports wildlife and we’ll bring along a handout of ways people can help ... in large and small ways.”
