Our Mission & Achievements

Our History

Priorities Ahead

 

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.

Our Record of Achievement Continues

Maine Audubon Today & Our Plans for the Future

Maine Audubon News

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.
