What We Do
Protecting the nature of Maine takes many forms. Here’s how the work gets done.
Statewide Outreach
We connect with people who love Maine because the solutions that are most effective and durable will reflect the unique needs and perspective of local communities.
- Maine towns and cities
- The Wabanaki Nations
- Outdoor recreation businesses
- Conservation coalitions
Practical Solutions
We make sure Maine’s environment, and the people who depend on it, are represented when it matters most. NRCM works with lawmakers in Augusta and Washington to defeat attempts to rollback progress and advance policies that safeguard our future.
- Legislative advocacy
- Clean energy & climate policy
- Land conservation & outdoor access
- Protecting clean water & wildlife habitat
- Defeating rollback bills
Mobilizing Change
We’re building a broad and diverse movement of people dedicated to sustaining progress and ensuring that our children and grandchildren benefit from the rich natural resources and vibrant communities that define this special place. Some of our shared victories include:
- Edwards Dam removal & river restoration
- Maine’s Bottle Bill and Billboard ban
- Katahdin Woods & Waters Monument
- Maine Trails Program
Protecting the Nature of Maine
NRCM is Maine’s leading nonpartisan membership organization—protecting, restoring, and conserving the woods, waters, and wildlife we call home, now and for future generations.
