The Maine Wilderness Guides Organization is an association of Registered Maine Guides and sporting camp owners who are committed to the protection of the places where we guide and the fish and game we pursue. We rely on public land access for our businesses to prosper. In its 30-year history, the Land for Maine’s Future (LMF) program has enabled Maine Guides to access forests, lakes, rivers, and other wildlands by funding the acquisition of conservation and recreation land. Unfortunately, it has been almost a decade since LMF has been funded. We urge legislators to pass a LMF bond bill this legislative session to replenish this important program. ~ Jeanne Christie, Maine Wilderness Guides Organization
