My Magnificent Obsession
by Emma McGraw
Emma McGraw of Sherman, Maine has been part of our Baxter Youth Conservation Corps for the past four years. This exhibition is selected from Emma's work over the past two years studying photography as a BYCC Conservation Fellow. Emma also set out to achieve an ambitious personal goal: hiking every single mile of trail in Baxter State Park! She completed her goal in 2021 at the age of 18.
This journey allowed Emma to capture some incredible photographs from every corner of the Park. Within this exhibition, you’ll get glimpses of beautiful Grand Falls in the Wassataquoik Valley, Canada lilies along Webster Stream, a glorious sunrise at Martin Ponds, and icy Green Falls near Wassataquoik Lake.

The Baxter Youth Conservation Corps is a service learning program for youth from the Katahdin region of Maine. Since 2017, the program has donated over 5,000 hours of trail work to Baxter State Park and directly invested over $100,000 in payroll to local youth like Emma McGraw. Friends of Baxter State Park is profoundly grateful to our members, foundations, and partner organizations who make this program possible. Emma's Conservation Fellowship in 2022 was supported by a generous grant from The Highpointers Foundation.
