NORWAY — On Wednesday, March 9, Maine author Jeff Romano will speak about his favorite hikes in western Maine at 7 p.m. at the Norway Library.

Since 2006, Jeffrey Romano has sought to capture his favorite hikes and remote places through words and images. In 2006, his first book, "Best Loop Hikes from the White Mountains of New Hampshire to the Maine Coast," was released by Mountaineers Books. A second book, "100 Classic Hikes in New England," was published by Mountaineers Books in 2010. Together, these two books capture more than 150 unique hiking destinations in New England's six states. Jeff has also captured the region's hiking destination through columns in a number of other publications including The Boston Globe. A native New Englander, he has been hiking for more than 30 years. In addition to scaling New England's 100 highest peaks, Jeff has hiked extensively throughout the wild places of all six states and beyond.

Jeff also works as the Public Policy Coordinator for the Maine Coast Heritage Trust and is active with the Maine Land Trust Network.
