DUBLIN, NH (March 3, 2017) – With temperatures warming up and spring just around the corner, it’s the perfect time to begin planning outdoor excursions. In the March/April issue, Yankee guides explorers to some of its favorite ocean walks and trails in New England to fill the senses. “For most of us, a walk by the ocean remains one of life’s great levelers,” writes Yankee Editor Mel Allen. “When you stroll beside the wave-rippled water with seabirds fluttering all about, it matters little if you are young or old.” The new issue also profiles New Englanders from different walks of life, celebrating the diversity of all who call the region home. The lead story, City of Hope, centers on the 6,000 African immigrants who are rebuilding their lives in the small town of Lewiston, Maine. With the country divided on the state of immigration policy, Lewiston demonstrates how a community can achieve progress through years of building relationships with and tolerance towards newcomers. Yankee also gives an inside look at the life of a country vet in Vermont, a writer’s 15-year journey to building a replica of her 19^th-century dream home, and what it is like to live on a rural homestead as winter turns into spring. Selected highlights from Yankee’s March/April issue include: — Walks Worth Their Salt (Pg. 86) In this month’s cover story, Yankee reveals its 12 favorite walking trails along New England’s coastline, from the famous Marginal Way in Ogunquit, ME, to lesser-known gems like Napatree Point Conservation Area in Watch Hill, RI. https://newengland.com/yankee-magazine/today/walks-worth-salt-spring-travel-planner/ — City of Hope (Pg. 118) Over the last 16 years, thousands of African immigrants have settled into the small mill town of Lewiston in Maine — a former manufacturing hub that experienced a decline after its glory years during the 1970s — contributing to its transformation from an underpopulated, homogenous town to a vibrant, diverse city.
