Acquired by The Nature Conservancy in 1978, the Great Wass Island Preserve is a true gem of downeast Maine.

The island projects farther from the coast of Maine than any other land mass in Maine, gifting the preserve with a unique climate ideal for diverse plant and animal communities to thrive.

The climate is caused by the mixing of the Gulf of Maine and the Bay of Fundy, producing a cool, humid oceanic atmosphere.

Rare plants found growing on the island include:

Beach head iris (Iris hookeri)

Marsh felwort (Lomatagonium rotatum)

Bird’s-eye primrose (Primula laurentiana)

Jack pine (Pinus banksiana)

Baked-apple berry (Rubus chamaemorus)

Ecosystems include:

Coastal plateau bogs

Maine’s two largest jack pine woodlandspristine open headlands

Black spruce rocky woodlands

Maritime spruce-fir-larch forests

Notable wildlife species:

Razor bills (Alca torda)

Harlequin duck (Histrionicus histrionicus)

Purple sandpiper (Calidris maritima)

Bald eagles

Crowberry blue butterfly (Plebejus idas empetri)

Rumbur’s forktail dragonfly (Ischnura ramburii)

Spotwinged glider dragonfly (Pantala hymenaea)

The diversity of life on the island, its remoteness, and low population looked like a great opportunity for capturing pure nature sounds…so I set out on an adventure!
