Where we work
Thriving waterways, thriving communities
The Damariscotta-Pemaquid region is defined by its waterways: productive tidal estuaries and the chain of lakes and ponds that make up the Pemaquid River, as well as coastal inlets, marshy wetlands, and countless streams and smaller ponds.
In an area of coastal Maine that is seeing rapid development, these waterways are still healthy and thriving. There are still large blocks of forest here, and big mammals like moose, bear and bobcat.
That doesn’t happen by accident. Together, we are conserving land, protecting water quality, and fostering connections to nature.
