Climate change is a serious issue, and in Maine, pollution from cars and trucks is the largest contributor to global warming. To draw attention to this issue, staff at the Natural Resources Council of Maine "clowned around" to put the spotlight on Commute Another Way Week May 14 —18, 2012. Please join us in the effort to curb climate change by commuting another way! For more information visit www.nrcm.org.
On October 3, 2010, paddling enthusiasts joined NRCM staff for a member paddle on beautiful Long Pond in Belgrade, Maine. The weather was perfect, the foliage was gorgeous, and a Bald Eagle sat for our cameras at Blueberry Island. What a special day. We enjoyed meeting all of you who joined us!

During a fun and relaxing vacation, it's easy to take Maine's beautiful beaches for granted. But unless we take action to address climate change, these special places could disappear forever due to sea level rise. Urge your elected officials to pass federal climate and energy legislation that protections our environment, today and for generations to come.

To celebrate our 50th anniversary, NRCM and a small group of our members spent four days in September enjoying a special autumn adventure along the Penobscot’s West Branch. Led by registered Maine guides Alexandra and Garrett Conover, owners of North Woods Ways, and NRCM’s North Woods Project Leader Cathy Johnson, participants gave video testimonials about what they love about the region and why it should be protected. Find out more information about NRCM's work to protect Maine's North Woods.
