Buy a Lottery Ticket, Support Conservation
We recently received a grant from the Maine Outdoor Heritage Fund to fund an exciting new conservation project (to be announced in 2020). MOHF has been helping to fund critical wildlife and conservation projects throughout the state since it was created by the Maine Legislature in 1996.
MOHF is supported through proceeds from the Maine Outdoor Heritage Lottery Ticket, and finds its funds lagging while grant proposals continue to pour in. The more tickets that are sold, the more projects can be funded across the state!
