- Developing Maine's first timberharvesting standards to limit clearcutting and record the extent of logging operations.
- Researching ecological, recreational, timber, cultural, and economic resources in Maine's 15 million acre Northern Forest as part of the effort to develop a conservation plan for this vital region.
- Promoting public awareness of lake-ecology issues through a statewide loon count and involvement in state lake policy initiatives.
