For decades, I've been privileged to share Clarry Hill with hundreds of Hog Island Audubon campers, young and old, whether we were listening for the wolf-whistle call of upland sandpipers in June or watching streams of broad-winged hawks, bald eagles and sharp-shinned hawks pass by on windy autumn days. Clarry Hill is priceless, and protecting this Midcoast gem has to be an absolute priority.

Clarry Hill was one Peter Vickery’s favorite places, where he loved to take Hog Island campers young and old to see upland sandpipers and vesper sparrows. He was buoyed by the wonders of thousands of kettling broad-winged hawks on a prime fall migration day. If he were alive he would be throwing his heart into this effort to conserve it. I hope you will consider making a gift, perhaps in Peter’s memory, to help protect this special place.

Clarry Hill is a unique landscape that celebrates the best of Maine. A first-time visitor would immediately notice the incredible views, but more importantly, the property is lush with blueberry barrens that reflect one of our state’s heritage crops, and it supports habitat for threatened bird species. We are excited to conserve this gem for the people of the state of Maine.

Clarry Hill has been on our radar for years. This scenic area of the Midcoast is particularly vulnerable to development, and an agricultural easement will make it possible for future farmers to continue cultivating and harvesting wild blueberries here.”

Anyone who has visited Clarry Hill knows that the importance of this project speaks for itself. There are few other places in the Midcoast that offer such stunning views while also providing a working landscape and vital habitat for rare and threatened species. I could not be more excited to work to conserve this landscape--not only for the sake of what is already there, but for the community connections to this place that we can help grow and safeguard into perpetuity.
