Dear John,
As November arrives, we know that Election Day is just around the corner, marking a crucial opportunity for all of us to shape the future of our state and our country. In the spirit of both civic engagement and environmental stewardship, we’re excited to invite you to this month’s Lunch & Learn programs. We’ll kick things off with a deep dive into the Maine Trails Bond, a vital measure on the ballot, and later in the month, we’ll take a close look at the election results and what they mean for climate action and environmental progress.
I hope to see you online! — Kathleen |

Join Josh Caldwell, Climate and Clean Energy Manager, and Bronya Lechtman, Grassroots Outreach Manager at the Natural Resources Council of Maine (NRCM), as they break down the significance of the Maine Trails Bond, which is Referendum Question 4 on the November 5th ballot. This $30 million bond would support creating, maintaining, and improving public trails across Maine, benefiting outdoor recreation, local economies, and the environment. Learn how this bond could help maintain trail networks, ensure public access to Maine’s scenic landscapes, and benefit communities while also addressing the impacts of climate change on outdoor infrastructure. You will also learn about how such a widespread supporter base of over 520 businesses, municipalities, and organizations across the state came together over this bond.
