NATURAL RESOURCES COUNCIL OF MAINE • June 18, 2020
Maine’s wild places are part of what makes living and visiting here so special. This summer the Natural Resources Council of Maine is celebrating two areas that exemplify the value of wilderness to our wellbeing, to the Maine way of life, and to ecosystem health more broadly.
July 17, 2020, is the 50th anniversary of the Allagash Wilderness Waterway (AWW) receiving federal designation as a wild and scenic river.
August 11, 2020, is the 20th anniversary of the state’s Ecological Reserve System.
