Description
In "Islands in Time," John Viehman and Annie Getchell team up with small-boat enthusiasts Sam and Susan Manning to row and sail more than 20 miles of open ocean to the remote Matinicus group of islands. They explore human and natural history along the way. The journey ends at Matinicus Rock, a 35-acre island and focus of early environmentalist concern. In 1900, the Audubon Society made Matinicus Rock the first official wildlife refuge in the country, and today some 100,000 seabirds nest here. In "Islands that Built America," John Viehman and Annie Getchell take a sea kayaking trip to Maine's rocky islands where they learn about the islands' historic granite-quarrying past and how the public's perception of those islands has changed over time. Islands that were once valued for resource extraction are now the focus of preservation and appreciation of their rugged wildness.
