This project was made possible by a grant from the Maine Coast Protection Initiative (MCPI), a public-private partnership of more than 70 local, state and federal organizations and agencies that are working to increase the pace and quality of land conservation in coastal Maine. MCPI has made capacity building and technical assistance grants (totaling more than $500,000) to local and regional land trusts and others working to protect Maine’s unique coastal landscape.

The videos and accompanying materials were prepared for MCPI by Maine Coast Heritage Trust (www.mcht.org) and Cross Current Productions (www.crosscurrentproductions.com) with assistance from:

- GrowSmart Maine
- Island Institute
- Maine Coastal Program/Maine State Planning Office
- Maine Natural Areas Program
- National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration
- The Land Trust Alliance
- The Nature Conservancy
- U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service Gulf of Maine Program
