“We live in an age of rising seas...
Now in our own lifetime we are
witnessing a startling alteration
of climate.”
RACHEL CARSON, 1951
The Nature Conservancy in Maine is grounded in
the scientific approach to conservation that was
the hallmark of our most prominent founder’s
work. Rachel Carson’s revelations of humanity’s
impact on the natural world extended far beyond
our state and helped launch the worldwide
environmental movement. Since our inception,
we have been inspired by her spirit to break new
ground in the fields of environmental science and
conservation ecology.
This ability to imagine new solutions to
environmental challenges—then act boldly based
on sound science—continues to define our work
today. Our mission is still guided by the prescient
pioneer who called our attention to climate change
over seventy years ago.
