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.
All are are invited to attend The Maine Outdoor Film Festival which will feature three short films on conservation work in Maine followed by a panel discussion. The Sebago TU film “Strength In Numbers: The Crooked River Salmon Stronghold” will be showing along with “Healing the Sweet Flowing Waters” on the Rangeley Region, and “Stories to Save Us: The Saltmarsh Sparrow” about the work to prevent the extinction of the species.
