Our Goal
To conserve native forest biodiversity in the Northern Forest/Acadian Forest region.

Who are our partners?
We work with forest landowners and managers, environmental groups, state and federal agencies, small woodlot owners, sportsmen, loggers, and others with an interest in forest health.

How do we work?
We maintain 2-way communication with diverse forest stakeholders and use our science and research capacity to develop tools that help society meet biodiversity goals.

Where are we based?
Manomet’s Forest Conservation Program is based in Brunswick, Maine, about 30 minutes north of Portland. (Click here for a map and directions).

Where do we work?
Most of our research is conducted in northern and interior Maine. We conduct research on industry land, private conservation land, and public land.

Current Projects
Through our Shifting Mosaic Project, a landscape-level approach to biodiversity conservation on industrial forestland, our research is presently focused on riparian buffers, old-growth retention, evaluating biodiversity indicators of sustainable forestry, developing an index of late-successional ecological value, and communicating science through Forest Ecosystem Information Exchange, Mosaic Science Notes, lectures, workshops, and field trips (see Resources” for more information).
