AUGUSTA — The second contest in the Maine Department of Inland Fisheries & Wildlife “Keeper of the Maine Outdoors Experience” series will give the winner a private, behind the scenes tour at the Maine Wildlife Park in Gray.
Entrants must be 18 years old to be eligible for the contest, and the Maine Wildlife Park experience entry deadline is noon Monday, July 22.
During the after-hours tour of the park with MDIFW staff and park gamekeepers, the experience winner and a friend will have behind the scenes access to see black bear, moose, white-tailed deer, Canada lynx, cougars and more, and learn how they are cared for and fed. Bring a camera, because every photo opportunity will be from the front row.
MDIFW began the “Keeper of the Maine Outdoors Experience” series earlier this year to give the public the opportunity for a day-in-the-life experience with a biologist or game warden to learn how they protect Maine’s fish and wildlife and serve in the Maine outdoors. The first contest had more than 4,000 entrants.
The Maine Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife will select the contest winner from entries completed at www.KeeperoftheMaineOutdoors.com/giveaway.
The Maine Wildlife Park is home to more than 30 species of animals that were injured, orphaned, or human dependent due to being raised in captivity. The park serves as a permanent home for animals that cannot survive in the wild, while providing visitors with wildlife management and conservation learning opportunities through exhibits, displays, and programs.
Other Keeper of the Maine Outdoors Experiences will happen in the fall on the water or at a fish hatchery, with a fisheries biologist, and during winter with biologists on a visit to a black bear den.
