	Cycling Lane Cove National Park
		The most frequently cycled route here, which is the only one I've tried, is a road that runs southeast to northwest on the southern side of the Lane Cove river.
		Â At the southeastern end of the park, it is possible to cross to the other side of the river either by means of a causeway (1) or by exiting and re-entering the park (2).
		The main road is probably too noisy for wildlife, however the much lower, less utilised road running from the eastern entry (2) to a walking track (3) has many roadside lizards (and possibly a snake or two).

	Maine Audubon: working to conserve Maine's wildlife and wildlife habitat by engaging people in education, conservation, and action.
		The Ornithological Society's first foray into activism was crowned with success: in 1901, at the urging of the young National Audubon Society, it successfully lobbied the Maine Legislature to pass the American Ornithologists' Union's "Model Law," protecting all nongame birds, nests, and eggs.
		In 1921 the society counted 6000 visitors, a proud vote of approval from a city whose population was barely 30,000.
		That same year Anderson convinced the state to rent Maine Audubon a run-down hot dog stand at the edge of Scarborough Marsh, which he soon converted into the nature center that is still one of the organization's busiest facilities.
