In an effort to limit potential exposure to the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, the Natural Resources Council of Maine has suspended all NRCM-sponsored events through March 2020. The health and safety of our members, the public, and our staff are of utmost importance to us. We will be monitoring and assessing the situation as it evolves. Our apologies for any inconvenience this may have caused you.

Our work protecting the nature of Maine remains crucial, today and for generations to come. Thank you for your ongoing support for the Natural Resources Council of Maine. Please stay safe and healthy!
