Launched in 1968 to commemorate former National Audubon Society President John Baker's long career in conservation work, the John H. Baker Scholarship Fund for Conservation Education provided scholarship assistance for prospective attendees of the Audubon camps, including the Audubon Camp in Maine. Preference for the scholarship funds were given to those who had completed a naturalist training program run by the National Audubon Society and who would go on to work in nature centers across the United States.
