Impact on the ground in Katahdin Woods and Waters National Monument

Park Projects

Since its inception, Friends of Katahdin Woods & Waters has supported projects large and small on the ground in the monument. From campground development to Tekαkαpimək Contact Station, from Canada lynx monitoring to road maintenance, we are proud to put donor support to work in the park on critical projects and staffing needs that improve visitor experience and enhance our understanding of the natural resources we strive to protect.
