This is a devastating loss for the Maine Warden Service, our Department, and the people of Maine. Our thoughts are with the family, loved ones, colleagues, and all those impacted by this tragedy.

In honor of Women's History Month, we remember conservationist Mollie Beattie, who was appointed the first female director of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service in 1993.

During her three-year tenure, she oversaw the creation of 15 new national wildlife refuges and established over 100 new habitat conservation plans. She also oversaw the successful reintroduction of the gray wolf to the Northern Rockies, and fought off efforts to weaken the Endangered Species Act.

After sadly passing away of cancer in 1996 at the age of 49, Congress renamed the 8-million acre Arctic National Wildlife Refuge Wilderness to the Mollie Beattie Wilderness. And one of the first wolf packs reintroduced into Yellowstone National Park was renamed "Mollie's Pack" in her honor.

She also said something that needs to be remembered by everyone, especially today: "What a country chooses to save is what a country chooses to say about itself."

We wish them both success as they pursue their degree.
