Return Reference	Explanation
Part III, Line 1, Description of Organization Mission	Maine Audubon is comprised of seven regional chapters and eight wildlife sanctuaries. Year-round conservation education programming takes place at two centers, and seasonal programming at two others. Maine Audubon has 10,000 members and serves over 50,000 people of all ages annually via programs, outreach, and visits to our sanctuaries. Our programs are divided into three main areas - education, conservation, and advocacy. We work with many communities and stakeholders to conserve threatened and endangered species; improve stewardship and habitat connectivity; lead citizen science projects; increase environmental literacy; and support policies and legislation that protect wildlife and wildlife habitat.
Part III, Line 4a, Program Service Accomplishments:	Education: Our primary statewide education activities and areas of focus include (1) conducting outreach programs to pre-kindergartens and schools; (2) hosting and leading field trips and in-depth units of study with schools and other learning communities; (3) family programs and events; (4) naturalist-led walks, talks, and field trips programs for adults; (5) chartering guided boat trips for seeing and learning about seabirds; (6) outreach programs, social media campaigns, and events to promote citizen science and stewardship priorities; (7) professional development programs for teachers and community leaders; (8) canoe and kayak rentals and guided trips; (9) camp programs for youth; (10) guided travel programs to international birding destinations. Key accomplishments from FY 18/19 include (1) third annual Native Plants Sale distributed 3,000 plants in Maine; (2) continued successful grant making program with the Foundation for Portland Public Schools to provide Portland teachers and school funding for environmental education; (3) began long-term planning for new outreach programs with Guilford and public libraries with backpacks; (4) implemented Family Fun, a weekly family-oriented early childhood environmental education drop-in program at Gilsland Farm; (5) 1,000 volunteers collected 12,000 recorded bird behaviors for the Breeding Bird Atlas in partnership with Maine Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife; (6) reconstituted year-round, all-ages staffing and programming at Fields Pond Audubon Center in Holden; (7) Five ongoing stewardship programs in Portland working with pre-k to adult in restoring native plants and habitat in city parks; and (8) continued successful events in partnership with LL Bean.
Part III, Line 4b, Program Service Accomplishments:	Conservation: primary conservation projects include (1) protecting nesting endangered piping plovers and least terns on the beaches of Maine; (2) working with foresters, landowners, and loggers to manage woodlands "with bird and other wildlife in mind;" (3) providing outreach, education, and technical and financial resources to road professionals to help them replace manfunctioning culverts and bridges with stream smart crossings that improve fish and wildlife movement up, down, and along streams, and reduce risks of flooding and destruction of road infrastructure in the face of more severe storms; (4) engage anglers in a search for wild brook trout in remote ponds and coastal streams that have never been surveyed before to determine where the best, last remaining wild populations occur; (5) engage lakeshore owners, lake associations, and road associations in monitoring common loon populations and protecting water quality and loon habitat; (6) provide training, maps, and other tools for citizens to track movement of wildlife across roads and determine hot spots of activity and mortality, including a special program focused on turtles, many of whom have experienced precipitous population declines due to road collisions; and (7) an analysis of how and where renewable energy projects can be sited in ways that minimize impacts to high value species and habitats. Key FY 18/19 conservation successes include: Coastal Birds: -We helped 68 pairs of endangered piping plovers nest in 2018, who successfully raised 128 chicks to independence. The resulting productivity of 1.88 chicks fledged per nesting pair meets our recovery goal of 1.5 chicks/pair and should help grow the nesting population. -We educated over 6,000 people who visited beaches on the ecology and conservation of beach-nesting birds and migratory shorebirds. We used mounts, decoys, stickers, booklets, binoculars and spotting scopes, and bandanas for dogs to reach people and pets with our "share the beach" message. -We tracked movement of migratory shorebirds on the beaches of Maine and participated in a study evaluating how human and pet disturbance affects migratory shorebirds on beaches from the Carolinas to Maine. -We hosted our first ever "Plover Party" in March of 2019, educating new audiences about how to live with these endangered birds. Brook Trout Surveys: -We provided dozens of volunteers with the maps, survey forms, and instructions they needed to survey remote ponds and coastal streams for the presence of brook trout, including sea-run brook trout, in places where they had never been found before. -A total of 24 volunteers completed surveys on 5 remote ponds and 38 streams, totaling 200 volunteer hours, valued at $4,938. Brook trout or signs of trout were found in 4 of the 5 ponds and 10 of the 38 streams. -These surveys have been forwarded to the Maine Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife for further surveys and management. A subset of these ponds will be added to the Heritage Fish List for additional protection. -We worked with the Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife to develop new strategies and policies to enhance protections for wild trout from the introduction of nonnative species by restricting the use of live fish as bait and stocking of nonnative fish. Stream Smart: -We organized and hosted two Stream Smart introductory workshops for the general public, engineers, foresters, and municipalities to learn about stream hydrology and ecology and the importance of providing ample room for storm water and fish and other wildlife to move freely up and down streams to meet their life and habitat needs. -We organized and hosted two Stream Smart NRCS Regional Conservation Partnership Project workshops for landowners and foresters to learn about the importance of stream hydrology and ecology and how to incorporate these concepts into designing stream crossings associated with forestry activities. -We organized and hosted two, two-day Stream Smart Phase II workshops for engineers, surveyors, and road professionals to learn how to evaluate a road-stream crossing site and develop an initial design of a new Stream Smart crossing that fits the site. -We provided materials and gave presentations on the value of Stream Smart stream/road crossings to the Maine Alliance of Road Associations annual meeting, the Maine Department of Transportation (MaineDOT) annual Highway Congress, and two lake association annual meetings. -We worked closely with the USFWS to survey for and design replacement culverts for 18 sites across Maine that will allow fish and other aquatic and terrestrial species to move safely up and down streams to access the various habitats they need for feeding, resting, spawning, and raising young. -We worked with University of Maine Forestry professors to train 30 students in Stream Smart principles and design. -We completed a video, entitled, Stream Smart Success Stories, highlighting three projects across the state that incorporated Stream Smart principles into stream/road crossing projects for a private landowner, a municipality, and the MaineDOT. -Reconnecting streams will help our endangered Atlantic Salmon, wild Brook Trout, and animals like rare Wood Turtles, Mink and Otter move safely across the landscape and will also help reduce expenses associated with road, culvert, and bridge repair from extreme storms. Forestry for Maine Birds (FFMB): -We developed and hosted four FFMB presentations for forest landowners and the public for a total of 104 participants. -We connected over 50 woodland landowners with District Foresters to walk their land and discuss management options and we worked with over 20 landowners to help them secure funding through the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) for writing a management plan. Wildlife Road Watch: Turtles: -We developed and hosted two trainings for citizen scientists to learn how to conduct surveys along roadways looking for dead or live turtles, in search of hotspots where turtles are crossing roads and particularly vulnerable to road mortality, a primary cause of population decline in our turtle populations. -During the summer of 2018, 31 volunteers completed surveys on 105 routes. -A total of 65 volunteers were trained to survey multiple routes in the summer of 2019. Loons & Lakes: -For our annual common loon count on the third Saturday of July, 1,350 volunteers surveyed 303 lakes and counted 3269 adults and 406 chicks. -We partnered with the Maine Lakes Society to expand the LakeSmart program, which encouraged landowners to reduce runoff and pollution from their lakeshore properties, to include habitat for brook trout and common loons. -During the summer of 2018, trained volunteers visited and screened 212 shorefront properties and issued 135 LakeSmart awards and recognized 55 landowners as also being LoonSmart. Renewable Energy & Wildlife: -We began a literature review of the impacts of renewable energy - specifically terrestrial and offshore wind, solar, and transmission lines - on wildlife, and ways to reduce those impacts through avoiding, minimizing, or compensating for impacts. -We also conducted a GIS mapping exercise of the overlap of wind resources and wildlife resources to identify areas most and least appropriate for siting new wind projects. -Met with Governor's office of Policy Innovation and Future to share our work to that point and our plans to engage the public (landowners, developers, and municipalities) on renewable energy and climate change issues.
Form 990, Part III, Line 4c, Program Service Accomplishments:	Advocacy highlights focused on the 129th Legislative session. Maine Audubon worked with members and supporters to send thousands of messages to legislators attending public hearings, and advocating at the State House. Highlights include three clean energy and climate leadership laws (LD 1711, LD1494, and LD1679). The new solar law lifts arbitrary barriers to solar production, allowing more Maine homeowners, businesses and towns to participate in the solar revolution and directs the state to capture at least 375 megawatts of low-cost solar; encourages development of landfill and brownfield solar projects; and requires that community projects serve low and moderate-income customers. In addition, Maine passed into law one of the most ambitious "Renewable Portfolio Standard" programs in the country, doubling the amount of renewable energy required to be sold in the state to 80% by 2030 and 100% by 2050. LD 1679 established the Maine Climate Council, which is charged with leading Maine's efforts to reduce Maine's greenhouse gas emissions by 45 percent below 1990 levels by 2030 and at least 80 percent by 2050. Additional legislation that passed during this time frame includes upgraded water quality protections for hundreds of miles of rivers and streams as well as sustenance fishing in certain waters for Maine tribes; empowers Maine's game wardens to protect our most valuable species by giving them discretion to issue citations to first-time violators instead of requiring warnings; restricts single-use plastic bags at retail establishments across the state; requires inspections of underground septic systems in all shoreland areas before the sale of property; and creates new staffing at the Bureau of Parks and Lands to enforce the multiple use mandate to better manage Maine's Public Reserved Lands.
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 10b	Two of Maine Audubon's chapters are 501(c)(3) organizations, while the other five do not have separate corporate identities.
