In addition, the top 20 photographs documenting Houlton’s natural world, which include everything from its feathered friends to spectacular sunsets, will feature in an outdoor photography exhibition at Houlton later this year.

We were delighted to see so many pick up their cameras and capture the vibrant and diverse wildlife on their daily walks – there’s so much to see in and around Houlton, whether you’re out for a stroll or exploring our many cycleways and nature trails.
