Another unique project we’re grateful to be a part of!
We’ve been working at the Tekαkαpimək Contact Station at Katahdin Woods and Waters National Monument, installing Feather Friendly bird collision deterrent markers on the glass.
These small, strategically spaced markers help birds recognize glass as a barrier, significantly reducing the risk of collisions. We’ll continue working our way around the building, treating the remaining glass to help make the property safer for birds.
A little background on this incredible place: Tekαkαpimək means “as far as one can see” in the Penobscot language. The contact station sits on Lookout Mountain and offers beautiful views of the surrounding wilderness, along with exhibits sharing the area’s natural and cultural history from a Wabanaki perspective.
We’re fortunate to have opportunities to work on projects like this throughout Maine. It’s especially rewarding when the work we do contributes to protecting wildlife and preserving the places that make our state so special.
A big thank you to everyone involved for trusting our team with this project!
If you’ve never heard of this place, it’s worth checking out!
