Conservation Lobby Day
Conservation Lobby Day 2025 was a success!
On Thursday, April 3rd, members braved the snow and rain to fill the State House halls for Conservation Lobby Day.
Together, with our partners, we lobbied legislators to protect Maine people and our communities from toxic PFAS chemicals, to make polluters – not Maine people – pay for the damage they’ve done to the environment, to lower energy bills and protect customers, and to ensure Maine is ready for future severe weather and storms caused by climate change. Thank you to everyone who joined us!
