The Mount Desert Island Marathon is pleased to
include the Stanwood Wildlife Sanctuary - Birdsacre as an official beneficiary of our Beyond the
Finish Line: Charitable Fundraising Program. This program has been created to help support many
worthwhile, local organizations with a goal of raising $100,000.00 or more!
"Running for charity takes something that is inherently selfish and makes it selfless."
- Runner's World
The 200 acre Stanwood Wildlife Sanctuary - Birdsacre
is a charitable, non-profit organization dedicated to preserving the home and vision of pioneer,
ornithologist-photographer Cordelia J. Stanwwood, as a living memorial to her achievements in
Ornithology and life. Cordie’s spirit continues to guide Birdsacre in its role in educating and
encouraging conservation. Shelters for non-releasable birds are located around the Stanwood orchard,
which surrounds Cordelia’s 19th century Homestead Museum and gardens, and a modern Nature Center that
showcases a fine art and nature collection, along with an extra-ordinary gift area. Owl programs are
conducted on site and may visit schools, clubs, and events upon request. In addition, the Sanctuary
encourages conservation and protects open space by accepting, monitoring, and preserving land grants
to help maintain the delicate balance between human development and the natural world.
