Executive Director's Note

A year into the COVID-19 pandemic, I am looking forward to longer days, more outdoor gatherings and the spectacle of the new season. Here at MAEE, we have a lot to celebrate. After six months of work, our five-year strategic plan is ready to roll out. We invite you to review the 2021-2025 strategic plan. We're also searching for new board members. Join us during this exciting time for MAEE!

I was able to hike with some MAEE board members at Springbrook Nature Center as part of their spring board retreat. Read the full note.

— Wendy Tremblay, Executive Director
