Building environmental awareness, accountability,
and action together in Maine since 1982
As an environmental educator, you provide people the opportunity to build a connection with the outdoors. We are your advocates.
Together, we create systemic change.
OUR VISION MEEA envisions a Maine where interconnectedness with the natural world is the root of environmental and social responsibility of all individuals, institutions, and communities.

Shifting Culture
Register now for the We Are Finding Freedom Workshop
November 7 - 9 in Phippsburg
Finding Freedom: White Women+ Taking On Our Own White Supremacy is a workshop that deepens our individual and collective understanding of how we as white women and gender expansive people are complicit with white supremacy, how we can make changes to live more deeply and consistently into our racial justice commitments, and how we can move ourselves and other people in our networks to join the fight for racial, economic and gender justice right now. Supported by MEEA and Momentum Conservation and hosted by We Are Finding Freedom.
