Malcolm Burson, Office of the Commissioner, Maine Department of Environmental Protection

In February 2010, Maine Department of Environmental Protection published People and Nature Adapting to a Changing Climate: Charting Maine's Course, incorporating the input of over 100 stakeholders from a diverse set of interest groups. The report was commissioned by the Joint Standing Committee on Natural Resources of the 124th Maine Legislature.
