Outreach and Education

Our staff have experience working on outreach strategies and other planning documents. We also have expertise in document editing, grant writing, website development, basic graphic design work, poster development and printing, and desktop publishing. We have a limited supply of outreach related equipment, including HD cameras and an audio recorder.

We are currently involved on the planning committees for the Maine Children's Water Festivals, and we are on the advisory committee for Signs of the Seasons: A Maine Phenology Project, a collaborative environmental education effort led by University of Maine Cooperative Extension and Maine Sea Grant.

We are also involved in the USFWS National Pollinator Initiative!
