Decisions made in Washington, DC have lasting effects on Maine’s treasured clean water, fresh air, healthy forests, thriving wildlife, and on the health of Maine people and our way of life. NRCM works to identify and address the issues at play in Washington that have the largest impacts here at home.
Right now, the Trump Administration is proposing to roll back laws that protect our public lands, water, air, and climate. While NRCM remains sharply focused on state environmental policies, we also focus on decisions in Washington, which now pose a significant threat as well.
Our staffers, members, supporters, and partners work to defend environmental safeguards and ensure Maine’s elected officials in DC stand up for Maine’s environment.
