Why this matters

Maine is home to nationally significant coldwater resources. Our work focuses on sustained, practical conservation—protecting headwaters, reconnecting fragmented habitat, restoring watersheds, and mobilizing communities to sustain progress over the long term.

Events & education

The Council and chapters host events, workshops, and youth programs that connect anglers with conservation work. This section stays informational: what’s coming up, and how to participate.
