About Us  
 
ECW is a not for profit environmental resource centre working with groups and organizations as a catalyst in assisting to  improve community well-being without degrading environmental health, by guiding the adoption of integrative frameworks that bring together social, economic, and environmental concerns.

We assist industry and government in understanding how good environmental conditions will support healthy communities and quality of life in an equitable way for all citizens of a region. ECW assists communities in a bottom-up approach to build an environment that provides good jobs and living spaces for all.

Environmental Concerns

ECW is contacted frequently to assist individuals in tackling environmental issues ranging from reporting algal blooms on our coasts, rivers and streams, to illegal dumpsites, or who to contact when they find a dead bird, etc.  In the past we have helped lake associations with concerns through the Community Lake Education program, conducted the Beach Sweep and Adopt-A-Shoreline programs, restored a salt marsh in Little Lepreau, facilitated Gulf of Maine Youth Environment Camps, educated students about energy efficiency, and coordinated the Oiled Wildlife Rehabilitation program.
