Maine Environmentalist Phyllis Austin's Redwood Table.
This beautiful table, an important piece of Maine's environmental history, is offered by Friends of Merrymeeting Bay as a conservation fundraiser supporting our research, advocacy, education and land protection work. The table was bequeathed to our donor in 2016 by one of Maine's premier environmental writers, her dear friend Phyllis Austin. At this table Austin wrote a wide array of articles, her landmark books, "Wilderness Partners: Buzz Caverly and Baxter State Park" and "Queen Bee: Roxanne Quimby, Burt's Bees and Her Quest for a New National Park, " and her co-edited volume of essays, "On Wilderness: Voices from Maine." Height 29 inches, top 75 x 32 inches.
