Maine
Audubon works to conserve Maine’s wildlife and wildlife habitat by
engaging people of all ages in education, conservation and action.
Our Record of
Achievement
- Defending the Penjajawoc Marsh from proposals to build a Wal-Mart "supercenter" adjacent
to the state's largest freshwater marsh. More
- Stemming the population declines of endangered least terns and piping
plovers through careful monitoring and management of the birds' breeding
colonies to set them on the road to recovery.
- Strengthening the state endangered species act to protect critical
habitat.
- Developing Maine's first timberharvesting standards to limit clearcutting
and record the extent of logging operations.
- Researching ecological, recreational, timber, cultural, and economic
resources in Maine's 15 million acre Northern Forest as part of the
effort to develop a conservation plan for this vital region.
- Promoting public awareness of lake-ecology issues through a statewide
loon count and involvement in state lake policy initiatives.
- Providing hands-on, experiential nature programs especially designed
to excite curiosity and introduce the concept of stewardship to over
8000 students a year.

We are so dedicated to multiple ways of achieving our mission that people
choose to make Maine Audubon a significant part of their lives.
In
everything we do, Maine Audubon connects people with nature. But
we need more help-help to keep open our wildlife sanctuaries and education
centers,
to present top-caliber nature programs, to oppose major threats to
Maine's wildlife. Frankly, we need your
support to continue taking risks to defend Maine's great natural heritage.
