SMWS 2025 Report – Year in Review Summary
We plan, coordinate, and deliver our educational, conservation, and monitoring programs each year with many partners. In 2025 they included: Acadia National Park, College of the Atlantic, MDI Regional schools and teachers, Land & Garden Preserve, Appalachian Mountain Club, Camp Beech Cliff, Carson-Newman University, Northeast States Loon Working Group, Maine Coast Heritage Trust, Friends of Acadia, Gulf of Maine River Herring Network, the Downeast Loon Necropsy Collaborative, and the Town of Mt. Desert.
We are grateful to all our volunteers who help count alewife, provide loon observations, and assist with education programs and trail work; our agency and non-profit partners in education programs and wildlife projects; and our larger community of supporters, neighbors, and participants in the wide range of Sanctuary endeavors. Thank you to all!
