IN THE SCHOOLS

Howard Whitten teaches biology at Nokomis Regional High School in Newport, Maine. In 2004, with the idea of establishing a lending library of taxidermy, he persuaded the Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History to donate almost 300 unwanted specimens to the school. Lacking a conventional, centralized storage facility, he placed many of the animals in the classrooms, hallways, and libraries of Nokomis and the other schools in the district.
