In a rare move, earlier this month pallet-sized mats of wild blueberry thatch took a 52-mile trip to Wyman’s Wild Blueberry Research and Innovation Center — a first-of-its-kind 3-acre research and education facility at a University of Maine site in Old Town.
A gift from Wyman’s, a Milbridge-based producer of wild blueberry products, to the University of Maine Foundation provided for the construction of the site. The milestone in the center’s development follows years of preparations and is designed to create new research opportunities for faculty and students.
