The Portland Press Herald/Maine Sunday Telegram and WMTW-TV8 in Maine teamed up to produce a series of stories on outdoor recreation in Maine's 100-Mile Wilderness region, with a particular focus on the Appalachian Mountain Club's efforts to promote and support the Maine Woods through its Maine Woods Initiative, an innovative plan for conservation that combines outdoor recreation, resource protection, sustainable forestry, and community partnerships in the 100-Mile Wilderness region.

The adventures and experiences of Press Herald Staff Writer Tux Turkel and Staff Photographer Derek Davis and WMTW Reporter Steve Minich are chronicled in a series of reports published and broadcast from July 22 through July 25, 2007.
