Ecology Walk

Not far from the ocean's edge, you'll find this walkway amid tall spruces and shining white birches. There's a lot peacefulness and quiet nestled here. Close by, you'll even find a open-air chapel bathed in sunlight and a small campground. This is all part of the coastal campus of the Ferry Beach Ecology School. The small institution offers ecological education to elementary and middle school students. Its staff and buildings can teach, feed and house up to 180 kids overnight right on the ocean in Saco, Maine. It's a special secret hidden here close to the surf.

  5. This must be a good place. Down in Florida, there are many boardwalks. I don't remember seeing as many up North.

  6. It's never too early to teach youngsters about the environment Birdman, maybe the next generation will be a little more careful than we!

  8. Sounds like an especially wonderful place. My sons had a similar place to go in the far northern part of our state.
