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.
Join the Mahoosuc Land Trust and the Mollyocket Chapter of Trout Unlimited for RiverFest, July 11–12 in Bethel. Saturday's activities at Valentine Farm include fly-fishing instruction, casting workshops, fly tying, stream ecology and entomology programs, children's activities, and vendor and educational exhibits. On Sunday, participants will help clean up the Androscoggin River from Gilead to West Bethel, followed by lunch on the river and a celebratory barbecue. All ages and experience levels are welcome. Here are details of the event.
