Advisory Council Home Page

The Allagash Wilderness Waterway Advisory Council was established as a result of the recommendations of the Allagash Wilderness Waterway Working Group that were signed into law in 2007.  As stated in PL 2007, c. 146, this Advisory Council will “aid in the long-term governance, management and oversight structure for this vital resource and will bring stability, peace and prestige to its management.” 

In addition, the legislation also required the Director of the Bureau of Parks & Lands to "create technical committees as needed to advance the waterway's purposes".

The Advisory Council is made up of 7 members
6 appointed by the Governor and 1 representing the National Park Service.
