Protecting the Nature of Maine
Since 1959
Support NRCM by enjoying a meal at Chipotle restaurants in Augusta at 1 Stephen King Drive, or South Portland at 359 Maine Mall Road, Sunday, July 30 from 4:30-8:30 p.m. Bring this flyer to Augusta or this flyer to South Portland (printed or shown on your mobile device) or just tell the cashier that you are there to support the Natural Resources Council of Maine, and 50% of the proceeds from your meal will be donated to NRCM!
Help us honor someone (or a group) who has gone above and beyond to protect a special place, helped pass a particular safeguard for Maine’s environment, or worked to stop polluting companies from contaminating our state—a volunteer who has devoted their time and effort to making future generations will enjoy the kind of Maine we know and love today. Nominate them for NRCM's annual People's Choice Award. Deadline for nominations is Monday, August 7.
