Who we are

Environment Maine is a statewide, citizen-based environmental advocacy organization. We believe there’s so much that is special about Maine that needs to be protected and preserved for future generations. Whether it’s kayaking along Acadia’s rocky coastline, canoeing on the Allagash or hiking Mount Katahdin, Maine’s natural wonders enrich our lives in countless ways.

Yet the places we love and the environmental values that so many of us share are too often threatened by powerful industries, shortsighted politicians and more. Defending our environment requires independent research, tough-minded advocacy and spirited grassroots action.

That’s the idea behind Environment Maine.  Together with thousands of our supporters from all walks of life, we take the kind of action that wins tangible results for our environment.

What we do

Funded by supporters like you, we research the challenges confronting Maine’s environment and educate the public about what’s at stake. Through our research reports, news conferences, interviews with reporters, op-eds, letters to the editor, and more, we raise awareness of environmental issues and advance sensible solutions. Our canvassers meet people where they are — in public places or at their door — raising awareness, recruiting supporters and activists, and raising funds to support our work.

When decisions are being made about Maine’s environment, our elected officials hear plenty from big developers, oil companies and other powerful interests. We make the case for our environment and help people like you make your voice heard, through lobbying, testimony, petitions, emails, phone calls and more, all delivered to the right people when it matters most.
