Acadia National Park sets all-time record for monthly visits

During our Summer Fundraising Drive, we need to raise $50,000. Right now, we have an incentive match from generous donors Frank and Jane Bragg, who will match donations dollar for dollar through the end of Friday, up to a total of $10,000.

Will you help us meet this challenge and jump-start our Summer Fundraiser?

Yes, I want to support The Maine Monitor!
