Making our natural resources a political priority.

Our environment is critical to our good health. Here in Maine, it provides our livelihood, our recreation, our sense of who we are. Ours is a uniquely beautiful state, defined by its natural features: the vast north woods, remote ponds and lakes, rugged coast and coastal islands. Maine people love and want to protect our clean air, clean water, and unspoiled wilderness.

We must make environmental protection as important to our elected officials as it is to Maine people. The Maine League of Conservation Voters is an independent, non-partisan organization that works to make natural resources protection a political priority for Maine voters, candidates and elected officials.

The League coordinates the advocacy efforts of the Maine environmental community and annually publishes the Environmental Scorecard, which tracks the voting record of each legislator. The League also endorses strong environmental leaders who will protect our health, open spaces, and quality of life. Past scorecards and further information about the League are available at its website, www.mlcv.org or contact MLCV at 373-1200 or mlcv@suscom-maine.net .
