Protecting waters in the most heavily developed region of Maine.
Making an impact since 1979.
We've made a huge impact rivers, streams, and lakes in southern Maine by replacing countless culverts, removing dams, and replanting riparian areas — all to support native fish and the habitat they need to thrive.
There’s more work to be done.
We’ve built some great momentum, but it’s more important than ever that we continue to fight for Maine’s waters.
Trout Unlimited is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization, and 100% of your donation goes directly to our chapter’s conservation efforts.
Still holding back for some reason?
That’s a dam shame.
Here are some of the ways your donation will support on-the-ground action.
Removing barriers to spawning habitat.
In 2024, we removed the Edes Falls dam after five years of planning, advocacy, and fundraising.
Wild Landlocked Salmon can now freely access 80% of their spawning habitat in the Sebago Lake watershed during low water levels in the fall.
Many bridges over troubled waters.
Culverts across Maine need a lot of love.
We've rebuilt the entirety of the Shepards River watershed and its tributaries with new road crossings so Wild Brook Trout have unimpeded access to these waters.
We crush litterbugs.
Those food wrappers and cans most people step over? We're rallying groups across southern Maine to clean it all up.
Trash, tires, debris — it's all has to go — and we're committed to cleaning up the rivers and streams we love.
Keeping an eye on water temps and more.
State agencies do a lot of work to support fish and wildlife, but Maine is big.
We collaborate and expand on the work of IFW, DEP, and others to capture temperature data, water quality info, and conduct studies on wild vs. stocked fish — all to support our advocacy efforts and inform state agency decision making.
Help us make it happen.
All funds raised support restoration work in the most heavily developed region of Maine.
