Work that matters, with people who care

NRCM attracts extraordinary people from across Maine and the country—people who want to make a difference by protecting Maine’s nature. We bring real passion to everything we do, and the atmosphere, online or in person, is exceptionally collegial. We support one another regardless of title, team, or task, and we value relationships: with lawmakers, community and business leaders, our members and activists, and each other.

NRCM has helped pass first-in-the-nation environmental laws, from a foam packaging ban to leading-edge recycling laws. The work leaves a mark.

A place people stay

Today’s NRCM team is much like our founders, who established the organization in 1959: smart, dedicated, and determined, with a deep love of Maine. Of our 24 staff, six have been here more than 15 years, and three for more than 25. That’s the kind of welcoming culture and camaraderie you’ll find when you join us.

“Glorious Sunday on the Mousam River Estuary Trail in Kennebunkport. The trail featured views of the river and marsh leading to the ocean on eastern side and on the west, remnants of water left by historic dykes was evident, as seen in this photo. The land was once drained for agriculture and now is being reverted back to estuarine marshland. Yahoo! A perfect day to walk on a leaf-carpeted, well-tended trail.”
