"We have opportunities to help keep a vast forest landscape connected," said TNC Maine Forest Program Director Mark Berry. "The forest is essential to our climate future, our economy, and our way of life. Keeping it intact is job one for conservation."

TNC supports the voice, choice & action of Indigenous peoples around the world, including the Wabanaki. We are disappointed that a bill we supported, LD 2004, was vetoed today by @GovJanetMills. We stand w/ the Wabanaki & allies in the Legislature & hope this veto is overridden.
