Working with Maine farmers and landowners to increase the nesting success of grassland birds.

10/09/2026

We’ve said it before and we will say it again: absolutely NONE of our work would be possible without all of you – from our farmers and landowners to our crew of volunteers to all of you who support our efforts!! Ag Allies thanks you for coming together with us to support and conserve our planet, starting with Maine’s grassland birds.

Can we get a little commotion for our founder and director– the amazing Laura Suomi-Lecker!!!! Ag Allies quite literally would not be here without Laura and her incredible passion for grassland bird conservation. Ten years ago she founded Ag Allies and has been working in the fields and behind the scenes in efforts to save these birds and promote sustainable land management across Maine. She is the woman who brings Ag Allies’ mission to life; who is out in our fields closely monitoring the birds and their habitats; who fosters relationships with our farmers and landowners. She truly is the woman who does it ALL!!

Our season is coming to a close!! With our birds flighted and soon heading south for the fall & winter months, Ag Allies would like to thank everyone who helped make this season our best yet; from our farm and landowner partners to organizations like the S**o Watershed Collaborative to our volunteers and to all of you!! NONE of our work would be possible without your support and we are incredibly grateful for it!!

Ag Allies is SO so happy to have had the opportunity to share our knowledge of grassland birds with you all at The Ecology School at River Bend Farm!!

While it is too late in the season for us to have seen nesting or flighted bobolinks, this was an amazing opportunity to showcase prime grassland habitat. It is amazing people like those at The Ecology School and The S**o Watershed Collaborative who help to not only conserve grasslands to keep these beautiful creatures coming back, but also observe sustainable practices, and educate others!!

Thank you again to The Ecology School at River Bend Farm for all of their hard work and for hosting us this season, and to the S**o Watershed Collaborative for working with us on this project!! An additional thank you to everyone who came to learn about these birds, how to protect them, and nature based solutions in the S**o Watershed.
