RESOURCES Going Mobile A WORLD OF OPPORTUNITY Eco-adventures are everywhere. Here, a sampling that spans the globe: ● Hike and raft the North Maine Woods Spend the night at the Penobscot Outdoor Center, near Baxter State Park, then hike Mt. Katahdin, Maine’s highest peak. The Knife Edge trail is a challenging, but rewarding, 10-mile round-trip hike. On Day 2, raft the Penobscot River with Northern Outdoors. Expect rapids and a 12-foot waterfall!

(Belize is home to the world’s second largest barrier reef.) Monitor Queen Conch populations with other volunteers while learning more about reef ecology. Be prepared to snorkel.

Numerous excursions, including hiking, snorkeling, scuba diving and island tours, are available, as are art classes at the Trash to Treasure Art Studio, where you can recycle the resort’s trash into works of art. Children’s programs are offered as well. (http://www.maho.org/Maho.cfm) ● Sundogs Sled Excursion Learn how to mush in Saskatchewan. Multi-day packages, ranging from 2 days and 1 night on the trail to a 7-day tour, are accessible even if you have no previous experience. Sundogs is certified by the Saskatchewan Nature and Ecotourism Association HORIZONS program; all energy is solar-generated and a portion of its revenue supports local conservation efforts.
