This journey highlights the intersection of traditional craftsmanship, sustainable industry, and a deep, generational connection to the natural environment.
The exploration spans various regions and practices, from learning fly fishing in Rangeley to observing Wabanaki canoe-making traditions in Newry. These activities illustrate how local knowledge is passed down through generations, maintaining a vital link to the land.
