On Sunday, Sept. 13, we’ll celebrate Landowner Appreciation Day. This day is focused on picking up trash dumped on private land, and you can (and should) help. Of course, if you enjoy the outdoors, I hope you appreciate landowners every day. We are very lucky in Maine to be able to access all private land that is not posted. And even though we can do that, I encourage you to find out whose land you are using and thank them. And don’t assume you can’t access posted land — ask that landowner for permission and you might be surprised when you gain access. ~ George Smith
