SPEAKERS: Tim & Susan Caverly

Tim Caverly has spent his life in Maine’s outdoors. Growing up shadowing his father who was a fire warden with the Maine Forest Service and his brother, a ranger in Baxter State Park, it was natural for him to seek a career in the outdoors. Tim is originally from Skowhegan, Maine and earned a Bachelor of Science Degree and a teaching certificate from the University of Maine at Machias. 

Tim was supervisor of the Allagash Wilderness Waterway for eighteen years retiring in 1999 after a 32-year career. Tim currently resides in Millinocket, and worked for five years in the Millinocket School System.

Through his and Frank Manzo’s “New England Reads” project, by January 2022 Tim with his wife Susan had presented 309 programs to over 10,363 students in Maine and N.H. In addition the Allagash Tails team has donated 2,224 books to 207 schools in Maine, N.H. and MA. Tim's latest book is From Within-Intrigue on the Allagash. Learn more here.

Each year, the popular late-winter Cottrell-Baldwin Environmental Lecture Series celebrates the environmental and scholarly legacy of Annette and Bill Cottrell and State Research Forester, Henry I. Baldwin.
