This year marks the 20th anniversary of the Beginning with Habitat program, establishing BwH as the longest-running partnership of its kind in the Northeast U.S. In two decades of work, the small team at the Maine Department of Inland Fisheries & Wildlife has provided natural resource information to almost every incorporated municipality in Maine; visited, mapped, identified, and explored local habitats with many land trusts and conservation commissions; and supported numerous local, statewide, and regional planning efforts.
