"Sense Of Wonder In The Field" Blog Series - Where Science and Spirituality Meet

The latest post in the “Sense of Wonder in the Field” blog series is a special entry written by our own Glenn Evans, founding and current vice president of the Friends. In addition to exploring themes of finding personal fulfillment, solace, and spirituality alongside science in nature, it pays tribute to the late founding president of the Friends and wildlife photographer, Bill "The Mooseman" Silliker, Jr. Bill was particularly fond of the Goosefare salt marsh and an "In Memoriam" tribute plaque can be found at the Goosefare Brook Wildlife Viewing Platform, on Rt. 9 in Saco, Maine, just past the bridge south of Ocean Park. Please carve a little time out of your day to read this thoughtful post.
