Throughout my career, I have been very active in land conservation issues. One of the first political activities I involved myself with was working towards the establishment of the Laudholm Trust in Wells, ME, which successfully conserved 2200 acres around the Little River Estuary, which had been faced with the threat of development. Today, the Wells National Estuarine Research Reserve works to protect and preserve the coastal ecosystems of the Gulf of Maine.

I am also very concerned with protecting against dangerous toxins in our food and water supplies. Maine leaders have been at the forefront of this movement, from Edmund Muskie's work on the Clean Water Act to George Mitchell's work on the Clean Air Act. We must act now to clean up our polluted watersheds, and protect against further pollution.
