Committed to the waters of Maine.
Our mission is simple: Protect
critical habitat for all.
We bring together diverse interests to care for rivers and streams, so future generations can experience the joy of wild, native fish and a thriving ecosystem.
You make our work possible.
We’re able to do what we do to protect and restore rivers because of contributions from people like you.
Whether you volunteer time, or donate money, we appreciate all that you do for Maine’s waters.
We're Maine's largest TU chapter.
Our work area covers a lot of territory — from the southern tip of Maine up to the Androscoggin River — so there are tons of opportunities to get involved with conservation projects, cleanup events, and more.
Check our events page or sign up for our newsletter to stay up-to-date with everything going on in southern Maine.
Our goals:
Conservation
From small culvert replacements to the removal of entire dams, we are dedicated to improving connectivity for the wild and native fish in Maine — to access the spawning, rearing, and cold water refuge habitat they need to thrive.
Education
We work to educate anglers and communities to better understand their watersheds through speaker series, video content, and hands-on events. We also support youth education opportunities, and outdoor experiences like Maine TU Trout Camp.
Advocacy
Permitting, dam licensing, regulations — it's all at the core of our work. We engage with local municipalities, state and federal agencies, and other non-profits to shape the factors that allow us to make an impact on trout and salmon waters in Maine.
Get involved.
It's our members that are the boots on the ground for cleaning up rivers, documenting habitat, and connecting with communities.
We'd love to have you on the team.
