President Barack Obama has named a new national monument in the northeastern state of Maine. Businesswoman Roxanne Quimby gave the 35,000 hectares of land to the government. The gift honored the 100th anniversary of the National Park Service. National Park Service Director Jonathan Jarvis said I can’t think of a better way to celebrate the anniversary. He called the land in Maine’s North Woods extraordinary. The Katahdin Woods and Waters monument includes the East Branch of the Penobscot River. From the land, Maine’s tallest mountain Katahdin can be seen. Many animals live on the land, including moose, black bears, coyotes, deer and bald eagles. Interior Secretary Sally Jewell said the gift would permit the area to remain accessible to current and future generations of Americans.
