In our January newsletter, we look back on some good news and milestones from 2025, and take a look ahead to important education and advocacy updates for the coming months.

Exciting Changes Coming!

Maine Audubon has broken ground for the Ann and Jim Hancock Native Plants Education Center and expanded, adjacent growing area, to be built at Maine Audubon’s Gilsland Farm headquarters in greater Portland. Supported initially by generous donations from Ann and Jim Hancock, the new structure will enable Maine Audubon to continue to grow its thriving native plants program.
