Hog Island on midcoast Maine

York County Audubon is seeking an educator or community leader to participate in a one-week program on famed Hog Island off mid-coast Maine in July 2012. The YCAS scholarship will pay 70% (up to $700) of the recipient’s cost for program tuition, room, and board. Applications are due March 1.

Visit our Scholarships page for details.

Please note: We have made two changes since we first announced the 2012 opportunity, both at the recommendation of Hog Island staff.

  1. The deadline has been extended from November 10, 2011 to March 1, 2012. Those who have already submitted an application need not reapply.
  2. We have selected one specific program, “Sharing Nature: An Educator’s Week,” for which the scholarship will be available.

About Harlequin

Harlequin is a pseudonym for content not attributed to a specific author. It echoes the name of the YCAS newsletter, The Harlequin. Watch for Harlequin Ducks along the rocky portions of the York County coast in winter. ¶ The avatar is by Louis Agassiz Fuertes, who sketched and painted the species during the Harriman Alaska Expedition. ¶ "When we got before the glacier, I saw my first pair of harlequins... the glass showed them plainly to be a ♂ + ♀ histrionicus." — L.A. Fuertes, June 7, 1899
