The following is a list of various links that people
may find useful as they search for information about conservation or
contacts who may prove helpful. This is a new page which will be
developed over time and which simply includes links to other websites
and individuals.
You will need to exercise your own
judgment to determine how helpful the links are.
A
great program regarding Maine lakes protection focused on the efforts
of our partners in the Belgrade Lakes was on MPBN. You may also want
to watch the programs on vernal pools, alewives, or stress on the
Brown Ash tree [the basketmaking tree]. The link to the full
programs is below for those with a video player.
