Maine's Hog Island: 90 Years as a Conservation and Education Sanctuary
Hog Island Audubon Camp in Maine is celebrating 90 years of environmental education and research. The island was saved from deforestation by environmentalists Millicent Todd Bingham and Mabel Loomis Todd, who purchased it to prevent clear-cutting. It is notably the birthplace of Project Puffin, an initiative that successfully restored seabird populations in the region. Today, the 330-acre island continues to serve as a training hub for aspiring scientists, educators, and artists. Its conservation impact has spread well beyond Maine, influencing bird protection efforts across North America.
