Introduction
Convened by the State of Maine's Coastal Program and Department of Marine Resources in 2009, the Maine Stream Connectivity Work Group is a partnership of 32 state, federal, tribal, and non-government organizations working to increase the pace and quality of cooperative stream restoration efforts in Maine.
The SCWG is a forum, networking and coordinating group that informs, leverages, and enhances the work of on-the-ground restoration practitioners and planners in Maine. We achieve this through general meetings, assessment and implementation of priorities, educational seminars, development of restoration tools, funding partnerships, and working together on projects that benefit local communities, private landowners and Maine's fish and wildlife. General meetings are held in the spring and fall of each year. Contact our coordinators to find out more.
