How Can You Help?

Runoff from the New Meadows River watershed inevitably finds its way into the river, carrying with it a variety of nutrients and contaminants introduced into the water from lawn, garden, and farm fertilizers, malfunctioning septic systems, and fuel spills.

You can help by:

Staying Informed!

Check out the Casco Bay Estuary Project's website for ways that individuals, volunteer groups, and local businesses can help make a positive impact on their watershed. Make choices that make you a responsible steward of the New Meadows River watershed.

Becoming a Bayscaper!

Bayscaping is a great program for any homeowner with turf - and the environment - on their mind. The program was designed by the Friends of Casco Bay and includes guidelines for ecologically based landscape practices. Click here to learn more about how to become a Bayscaper.

Maintaining your Septic System!

Septic systems should be pumped out every three years or damage to your home and the environment can occur. Visit Septic Yellow Pages for answers to your septic questions.

Volunteering!

Contact a local member of the New Meadows River Watershed Project to see how you can help.
