Nonprofit Overview
Causes: Environment, Environmental Education, Land Resources Conservation, Water, Water Resources, Wetlands Conservation & Management
Mission: The mission of the Pemaquid Watershed Association is to conserve the natural resources of the Pemaquid Peninsula through land and water stewardship and education.
Programs: The Pemaquid Watershed Association's programming centers upon water quality protection, land stewardship and environmental education. Volunteers (via the Maine Volunteer Lakes Monitoring Program) operate a comprehensive water quality monitoring program on six ponds and three public swimming beaches. The land trust program has resulted in protection of nearly 650 acres of land. The award-winning Environmental Education program works in local K-12 schools, providing classroom support and teacher training. Beachcombers' Rest Nature Center at Pemaquid Beach opened in 2003, offering programs and interactive displays to foster stewardship of the beach and the local environment. The PWA Paddlers offer weekly canoe and kayak trips throughout the Midcoast region, May through October. PWA also maintains a Butterfly Garden at Pemaquid Beach Park, organizes annual public gatherings for each major pond in the watershed, and spearheads the LakeSmart Program for the major ponds.
