One of the hallmarks of Maine Audubon’s vision is to create accessible, inclusive, and welcoming wildlife sanctuaries that provide a haven for Maine wildlife and broaden access to nature and experiential learning for everyone. We are thrilled to announce that we are building an All Persons Trail at Gilsland Farm this year. Read about the trail here >

During the construction phase, visitors should expect to see small sections of the existing trail network located around the Visitor Center temporarily closed. Thanks for your patience!

The Maine Bird Atlas was a collaborative effort led by Maine Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife, with major contributions from Maine Natural History Observatory, Maine Audubon, Biodiversity Research Institute, and thousands of volunteers. The atlas is not only a bird book, it represents one of the largest natural history collaborations ever undertaken in Maine.  More information > 

Individuals can preorder the Maine Bird Atlas. Due to the volume of orders received so far, the book is going into a second printing. Pre-orders placed after Sept. 29, 2026, will likely be shipped in early 2027. Cost: $95 plus tax and $12 shipping (Publisher: UMaine Press).
