The
Department of Conservation is a state agency aimed at protecting Maine’s
wilderness through conservation and fostering awareness through recreation.
The agency regulates the management, development and protection of
Maine’s natural resources, including forest, unorganized territory, nature and
historical parks, and other pieces of land. The agency seeks to balance
conservation needs with responsible use of land, water and minerals. The Maine
DOC is divided up into several different departments including Bureau of Parks
and Recreation, Maine Forest Service, Bureau of Geology and Natural Areas, Land
Use Regulation Commission, and Natural Areas Program. For more information on the DOC's work along the river, search 'Androscoggin River' on the Conservation search bar (not the State Search bar). |
