May Rogers Webster

May Rogers Webster (May 23, 1873 – January 7, 1938) was an American naturalist active in New Hampshire, especially known for her knack of taming hummingbirds, but also for starting environmental education programs in that state.

[1][2] She was a member of the Massachusetts Society of Mayflower Descendants, tracing her ancestry to William Brewster.

The teacher training camp continued summer programming at Lost River into the 1960s.

[10] In 1933, she began "Conservation Week" in New Hampshire schools, an annual observance dedicated to environmental education.

[1][14] In 1966, Frank Webster donated the Lost River camp property to the Squam Lakes Association, in memory of Laurence and May, for the creation of the Squam Lakes Natural Science Center.
