Chronicle Spring 2003 SPRING 2003 THE CHEWONKI FOUNDATION HRONICLE AMYTHICAL PLACE CHEWONKI LANDS A PIECE OF MAINE’S HISTORY Chewonki President Don Hudson remembers the day he learned Big Eddy might be up for sale. Barely able to contain his enthusiasm, he walked the Farm House hallway to Wilderness Programs Director Greg Shute’s office and, with his best attempt at understatement, casually mentioned the news. “Greg’s jaw nearly hit the floor when I asked him if buying Big Eddy would be a good idea,” recalls Don. Indeed, it was a very good idea, and Don and others worked hard to make it happen. In August 2002, Chewonki purchased Big Eddy Campground, situated on a famous salmon pool on the West Branch of the Penobscot River. The deal protected one of the most valuable recreation properties in the Northeast and was made possible by the generosity of one anonymous donor. With its purchase, Chewonki has taken title of more than just a campground. It is now the custodian of a piece of Maine history.

W. DONALD HUDSON, JR. OM TH FR E N CHEWONKI PURCHASES AN ISLAND DOWNEAST S E Chewonki is the proud new owner of what Don Hudson calls “one of the prettiest campsites on Maine’s DownEast coast.” W C E K It’s 7-acre Bowline Head, situated in Pleasant Bay east of Schoodic Peninsula. The island was owned for more than 75 years by the N Chewonki Neck Ewing family, which has a long connection to Chewonki. Don’s wife, Josephine Ewing, proposed the sale to Chewonki over a year ago, and it was finalized last December. A conservation easement was placed on the island at the time of the sale and was trans- ferred to the Great Auk Land Trust. “This was a bargain for Chewonki,” says Don. “The island was appraised at $110,000 and sold for $30,000. The difference is the value of the conservation easement, for which the Ewings can realize a tax deduction. This is an excellent, and often used, mechanism for protecting land.” The conservation easement allows for a campsite and the right to build a lean-to and tent platforms, thus ensuring a safe harbor for Chewonki trippers DownEast. Work will begin in the summer of 2004—carefully timed so it doesn’t interfere with the nesting cycle of the two Bald Eagles that took up residence on the island last spring. “An added bonus!” notes Don. CHEWONKI MAKES “GREEN” CONNECTIONS Chewonki is one of five charter members of the newly formed Maine Green Power Connection, an innovative program bringing “green” power to customers across Maine. Chewonki President Don Hudson and Renewable Energy Pathways Coordinator Peter Arnold took part in the program’s public announcement on January 23. Since then, nearly 350 customers have signed up for the program, despite a slightly higher charge—1.5 cents per kilowatt hour—on their electric bill. The program offers residential customers and small business owners two ways to purchase electricity generated from clean, 100% renewable domestic sources (e.g., wind, solar, biomass, and low-impact hydro- electric facilities). Customers who purchase “Green Tags” don’t switch their electricity supplier but make a tax-deductible donation to put more green electricity onto the power grid in the U.S. Also, a portion of the revenue from Green Tag sales will be invested in new renewable energy facilities here in Maine. Customers who purchase “Green Supply” do switch their supplier and buy electricity generated from existing renewable energy facilities in Maine. (They do not, however, switch their provider, e.g., CMP or Bangor HydroElectric.) Supporters of the project believe many Maine citizens will opt for a slightly higher electric bill in exchange for the benefits of supporting “green” power, thus helping preserve our environment, health, and energy independence. Chewonki is among the program’s first customers, having purchased Green Tags for the Center for Environmental Education and Green Supply for the Farm House. Residents interested in signing up for the program (which takes only a few minutes and does not change how a customer is billed) can call 207-729-9665 or visit www.meipl.org (the website of Maine Interfaith Power and Light, another charter member of Maine Green Power Connection). 3 COMING BACK TO CAMP Where “now” looks Camp Director Dick Thomas hears it time and time again. “Returning campers, remarkably like “then” whether they’ve been away for 10 years or 50 years, tell me they get chills driving down the road to camp,” he says. It may be paved now, but the familiar approach is still long and straight, still lined only with trees, and it immediately evokes a flood of memories. Of boats, swinging on their moorings at the water- front. Of Tent Days and Cabin Trips. Of Saturday night campfires and hiking in the Camden Hills. Of racing for the dining hall and scrambling to make a line when the big bell rings.

In the 1970’s, various management schemes were considered to maintain the special character of these areas while allowing continued commercial forestry activities. Federal and State studies undertaken in the late 1970's concluded that the Penobscot was worthy of special protection. In January 1979, the staff of the Land Use Regulation Commission proposed special recreation protection zoning for the corridors of the East and West Branches. Following an extended public hearing on those proposals, Great Northern Paper Company requested that the Commission defer action on the staff proposals. The Commission agreed to give Great Northern the opportunity to voluntarily develop a resource protection plan for the area. The Land Use Regulation Commission's Land Use Districts and Standards provide for a unique alternative to the Commission's customary zones, whereby landowners may propose a resource protection plan for areas such as the East and West Branches of the Penobscot River.
