MAINE NAWCA PROJECTS $33,334,214 $166,954,921 99 1,038,183 NAWCA GRANT AMOUNT TOTAL PARTNER CONTRIBUTION NUMBER OF PROJECTS TOTAL ACRES Maine has 99 NAWCA projects either completed or underway. These projects have conserved 1,038,183 acres of wildlife habitat. NAWCA funding of more than $33.3 million stimulated partner contributions of more than $166.9 million. These figures do not include multi-state projects. SCHOODIC MTN TO PENINSULA COASTAL MAINE PARTNERSHIP This project is focused on increasing protection of the Schoodic Peninsula and represents a unique opportunity to increase the protected acreages of high-quality coastal wetlands and islands and increase the link between the coastal habitats and the extensive inland freshwater wetlands and forest to the north. This project also increases the protection of islands in the Acadia Archipelago, a group of islands that is one of the largest networks of conserved lands along the heavily populated Atlantic Coast. The project will connect and buffer existing protected lands, preserve, expand and improve conditions for wildlife populations and, provide new public recreational opportunities. This proposal will leverage NAWCA funds with matching fund to protect 2,196 acres including eight fee simple acquisitions, one fee simple donation, two easement acquisitions and conservation project tracts host an exceptional diversity of the region's rarest species, including harlequin ducks, Barrow's goldeneye, all three species of scoter, two species of phalarope, least bitterns and more.
