 Dear Friend of Maine's Environment,
 
Maine Rivers and Trout Unlimited have hosted a series of events for Maine’s conservation community in March and November for the last six years. These events are designed to inform and foster improved communication, cooperation, and coordination. Cianbro's proposed pumped storage in Dixfield would be the first of its kind in Maine and, like any project involving major construction, would have environmental impacts. We would like to get basic information disseminated to inform and enable more intelligent conversation and action going forward. We all need to know what this is and what it is not.
