The Natural Resources Council of Maine hosted a night of music inspired by the environment May 11, 2011, at the Liberal Cup English-style pub in Hallowell, Maine. Music makers and music lovers enjoyed great music, great food, and great friends. The crowd also learned more about issues NRCM is working on at the State House and how they can help protect Maine's land, air, water, and wildlife. Thanks to all who came!
The hugely popular jam band Phish made a rare appearance in Augusta, Maine, in October 2010. The concert sold out quickly, but the Natural Resources Council of Maine was there—as guests of the band! The Waterwheel Foundation, the charitable arm of Phish, chose NRCM as the band's charity for the evening. We set up beside the Waterwheel table and talked with hundreds of concert goers about our mission to protect Maine's environment. We also invited people to sign our petition asking the National Geographic Society to start using recycled paper in its magazine, and to work with their paper supplier—the worse polluter of the Androscoggin River, the Verso mill in Jay—to ensure the river will finally meet Clean Water Act standards. Thanks to all who stopped by our table and took action for Maine's environment. Special thanks to the Waterwheel Foundation, and to Phish—we had a rockin' good time, for a good cause!
On June 9, 2010, musicians and music lovers joined the Natural Resources Council of Maine at the Liberal Cup English-style pub in Hallowell, Maine, to enjoy music inspired by the environment. Great fun, great food, great friends, and great music. Thanks to all who came!
