Maine
Introduction
Maine’s rugged coastline and massive forested landscape define its natural beauty. Dense forests cover 90 percent of the state and are home to over 200,000 species of wildlife – boosting the local economy with jobs in forest production and wilderness recreation. Our work in the region helps to protect wetlands and coastlines, support sustainably managed forests, and ensure both environmental and economic benefits for years to come.
