Give the Gift of Nature
Without the ongoing support of the community we serve, Hirundo could not achieve its mission: To enjoy, understand and protect Hirundo’s natural and cultural environment for the mutual well-being of our human and wildlife communities.
A small nonprofit with big dreams, we rely on individuals who share our passion for the great outdoors to support us as well as the businesses who provide sponsorships and foundations awarding grants.

"There's nothing like escaping into the woods to reset your heart and mind."
"I love to bring the kids here to get away from the rest of the world. Very peaceful and beautiful!"
"Hirundo's trails weave around the homes of a plethora of Maine's resident wildlife. I've birded at Hirundo several times and seen a wide variety of species and even when birds are sparse turtles, mink, muskrat, snakes and deer are all likely sights."
"Had a fun night out paddling under the full moon. We saw 4 blue heron, 2 beavers, a muskrat, and a filter-feeding glob that has a very scientific name that I cannot recall."
"Great trails to get out into the wilderness without having to drive long distances."
