Riders take Notice!!
A message to snowmobilers, Protect our Wild Blueberry Lands.
Maine Wild blueberry growers allow hundreds of miles of trails to cross their fields and barrens,
welcoming snowmobilers and ATV riders to enjoy thier lands. However, Wild Blueberry plants can be severely damaged,
even when snow covered, by riders who leave the marked trail. this cost growers thousands of dollars in lost crops. That's
why we ask you to respet these lands and Maine law:
STAY OFF CROP LANDS
STAY ON MARKED TRAILS
LEAVE NO TRACKS ON FIELDS
CARRY OUT ALL YOUR TRASH
OBTAIN WRITTEN LANDOWNER PERMISSION, UNLESS ON MARKED TRAIL
Thank you for helping us preserve an important part of Maine's
heritage.

IMPORTANT INFO:
A
MESSAGE TO SNOWMOBILERS IN MAINE
STAY CALM AND
ON THE TRAIL IN WILD BLUEBERRY COUNTRY
The Wild Blueberry Commission of
Maine reminds all riders to “Stay Calm and On The Trail” when passing through Wild Blueberry growing areas. Maine Wild Blueberries grow on short bushes 6-8” high and cannot be seen under
a foot of snow. By late fall flower buds have formed on the bushes just waiting
for the warm days of spring to bloom and form berries. Leaving the marked trail
damages Wild Blueberries in two ways.
In shallow to moderate snow depths the weight of the machine and riders force
the moving tread into the Wild Blueberry bushes under the snow damaging the buds. Damaged
buds means no crop for the farmer. Additionally, compacted tracks reduce the
insulating value of the snow resulting in bud death due to cold damage. Wild
Blueberry growers can see a sled track through the crop the following spring and summer.
This damage can cost farmers thousands of dollars in lost crop.
Staying on the trail and off crop fields is also the law in Maine.
Maine Farmers allow thousands of miles trails to cross their fields and wood
lots welcoming thousands of riders to enjoy their lands. Please respect this
privilege, stay on the trail, leave no track on fields, and carry out all your trash.
Maine’s Wild Blueberry farmers thank you. Have a safe and enjoyable winter sledding.
