50 years ago, the Androscoggin River was a stark example of the need for change: heavily polluted, unsafe for recreation, and deadly to fish and wildlife. Today, it is a model for the progress we can make and will continue to make in restoring and protecting our waters thanks to all those who have helped implement the Clean Water Act, which turns 50 this October!

Please join NRCM for a celebration of Maine's Clean Water Champions and our success in transforming our rivers, lakes, and beaches.
