You can get the poster, magnet and a great ceramic mug for $20.00.[/caption]
This season, give a gift that keeps on giving to Maine’s Wildlife.
The Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife’s newest poster features Maine’s 51 endangered and threatened fish and wildlife, and proceeds from the sale go directly to help these species.
The poster was beautifully created by Maine wildlife biologist, artist and writer Mark McCollough. Mark was able to deftly position all the species within the background of the state, and place them in the general areas where they are found. You’ll see puffin feet dabbling in cold Downeast waters, a short-eared owl cruising across the rooftop of Maine, and a northern long-eared bat hibernating in a mine in the mountains of western Maine. The back of the poster features an identification key and background information about each species.
Perhaps the best part of purchasing the poster is that all proceeds from the sale of the poster and related merchandise goes entirely to Maine’s Endangered and Nongame Wildlife Fund, which directly helps endangered and threatened species in Maine.
You can purchase a package deal that includes the poster, a wonderful 15-ounce ceramic mug and a 4.5” by 7.5” magnet for just $20.00 at www.mefishwildlife.com or IFW headquarters in Augusta. All proceeds help endangered and threatened species recovery in Maine.
This poster and an educational activity packet was mailed to every fourth grade teacher in the state through the help of a Maine Outdoor Heritage Grant. The same packet was mailed to 266 public libraries statewide, to use in displays and after school programming. Now you can purchase your own poster.
The poster, along with the mug and magnet make a wonderful gift so don’t miss out and get yours today at www.mefishwildlife.com.
