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.
RiverFest is taking on a new look this year! To focus our efforts on what matters most—caring for our rivers—we've streamlined the event into a dedicated river cleanup on Saturday, July 11.
We'll launch at 9:00 a.m. Lunch will be provided, and dinner will be available at the take-out after the cleanup.
Following the cleanup, anyone interested is welcome to stay for casting instruction or an entomology session. Please bring your own boat.

Thank you for supporting RiverFest and helping keep our rivers healthy. We look forward to seeing you on the water!
