Upcoming Exhibit

Woods, Water, World: Environmental Studies at Bowdoin College

January 26 – June, 2023

Second Floor Gallery, Hawthorne-Longellow Library

Open during Library hours

This exhibit marks the fiftieth anniversary of the Environmental Studies Program and examines the fundamental role of the
natural world at the College. Through archival documents,
photographs, maps, and more, explore the enduring importance of the Bowdoin Pines, the pollution (and clean-up) of the Androscoggin River, and the generations of Bowdoin students, faculty, and staff dedicated to studying and defending the natural world, on campus, in Maine, and around the world.


Exhibit curated by Lizzy Kaplan ’23.
