Every ten years, The Maine Nature Conservancy conducts a survey and data collection in their preserves. This data gets combined with other data collected by the state to help understand the changes the preserve has undergone over the last ten years. One of the main concerns of this survey was to evaluate the spread of Beech Bark disease, which is raving beech trees in the north east. The photographs from this project will be used in their research report and for conservation education.

Ansel Adams:

"A great photograph is one that fully expresses what one feels, in the deepest sense, about what is being photographed."

Motto of the Baltimore Grotto:

Take nothing but pictures.
Leave nothing but footprints.
Kill nothing but time.

Minor White:

"Often while traveling with a camera, we arrive just as the sun slips over the horizon of a moment, too late to expose film, only time enough to expose our hearts."

Native American Proverb:

"We do not inherit the earth from our ancestors, we borrow it from our children."
