Campus Updates
Learning Sustainability by Living It
For more than a century, Chewonki has explored what it means to live thoughtfully on the land. In the late 1990s, that exploration took physical form with the construction of the Center for Environmental Education, a building designed not just to house programs, but to make energy, materials, and systems visible. Around the same time, experiments began appearing across campus, from student-built solar panels to biodiesel production and early wind and hydrogen systems. Some of those efforts evolved or faded as technology changed, while others laid the groundwork for what came next. Together, they shaped a campus where sustainability is something you can see, question, and take part in every day.

That Moment When The Sun Returns
Greetings from Chewonki and happy new year!
This is the quietest and darkest time of year on Chewonki Neck, just a few days past the winter solstice. For those of you from the “lower latitudes,” our planetary tilt has a remarkable effect on the environment here in Wiscasset, granting us only eight and a half hours of sunlight each day.

A Gift Rooted in Maine
For Bill and Emily, giving to Chewonki isn’t just about one organization — it’s about giving back to the Maine community that has shaped their lives. From Gardiner to Camden to Brunswick, they’ve spent their years building things that last: homes, friendships, and a sense of belonging. Supporting Chewonki through planned giving is one more way to sustain the strength and continuity of a community they deeply value.
