maine nfc is Dedicated to THE memory of:
The late Clinton “Bill” Townsend of Canaan, Maine, Maine's foremost “fish conservationist.” Few if any have done as much for Maine’s rivers and wild native fish as Bill. And he did it quietly and without fanfare, teaching anyone who was paying attention that getting things done was more important than getting credit for doing so. No one stood taller, no one fought longer or harder and no one accomplished more. Bill's departure from this world has left a void that will not soon, if ever, be filled. Thanks for all you did Mr. Townsend...

This dedicated group of volunteers are our "boots on the ground" in Maine, home to several rare native fish including federally endangered Atlantic salmon, the last Arctic charr in the contiguous United States, and roughly 90% or more of the remaining wild native pond-dwelling and sea-run brook trout.
MAINE ADvisory CounCil
