Celebrate Progress for the Penobscot River

Thursday, May 20, 12:00-1:00 p.m.

The Penobscot River Restoration Project has been a huge success, improving access for sea-run fish to more than 2,000 miles of habitat. This exciting, challenging, and deeply meaningful collaborative project to bring the Penobscot River back to life is the subject of a new book. This Zoom webinar celebrated the success of the Penobscot River Restoration Project. Participants heard stories from Mainers, including those directly involved in the project, who helped make it a reality, captured in the inspiring book, From the Mountains to the Sea.

At this special online event, we heard from:

John Banks, Director, Department of Natural Resources, Penobscot Nation
Laura Rose Day, Former Director, Penobscot River Restoration Trust
Kate Dempsey, State Director, The Nature Conservancy in Maine
Pete Didisheim, Advocacy Director, Natural Resources Council of Maine
Andy Goode, Vice President, U.S. Programs, Atlantic Salmon Federation
