Natural Resources Council of Maine

The Natural Resources Council of Maine is the state’s leading nonprofit, nonpartisan membership organization dedicated to protecting, restoring, and conserving Maine’s environment, now and for future generations. Since 1959, NRCM has harnessed the power of the law, science, and the voices of nearly 20,000 supporters statewide and beyond to protect the places and way of life that make Maine so special.

We work statewide to—

• Protect the health of Maine’s rivers, lakes, streams, and coastal waters;
• Promote sustainable communities through initiatives that reduce toxic pollution and waste;
• Decrease air and climate-changing pollution through energy efficiency and renewable sources;
• Conserve Maine lands and wildlife habitat, including our treasured North Woods; and
• Defend the federal environmental policies and programs that help protect Maine.

To protect, conserve, and restore Maine's environment; now and for future generations.
