Description: A retired teacher from Presque Isle, Eric Hendrickson has spent decades roaming on and off trail in Baxter State Park. Join us for this wide ranging conversation including human history, trails, fires, caves, and more.

Baxter State Park, despite its name, is administered separately and is not connected to the larger State Park system. The Baxter State Park Authority, consisting of the Attorney General, the Director of the Maine Forest Service, and the Commissioner of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife, has full control and management of the Park and is responsible for all Trust obligations. Patty Cormier spent much of her childhood in the Maine woods and dedicated her professional life to managing the state’s forests. She served as a District Forester for the Maine Forest Service for 20 years and became the State Forester in the spring of 2019. In this interview, Bill Green and Jensen Bissell speak with Patty Cormier, a Chair of the Baxter State Park Authority, about her experiences as an Authority member in 2024.
