Raise the Flag for Public Lands

Maine is defined by its wild and rugged natural character. From rocky coastlines to dense fur and spruce woods, Maine’s wild places are at the heart of what make it so special to so many.

On Wednesday, August 20, Maine Conservation Voters is partnering with the national League of Conservation Voters to Raise the Flag for Public Lands, calling on Maine people, lawmakers, and environmental leaders to protect public lands in Maine.

Join us from 12-6PM at Bug Light Park in South Portland for a public art installation, featuring two dozen handcrafted flags made by the Maine Flag Company, representing the state’s varied and iconic landscapes.

This event is free, family-friendly, and will feature DIY kite-making and flying for all ages. There will be food and refreshments available for attendees.

We hope you will join us to celebrate public lands and stand up to  protect them, so that Mainers can enjoy these magical places for generations to come.
