Abstract

"News & Issues" piece on funds budgeted for the acquisition of public lands by the federal government and the state of Maine. President Clinton's budget, released this week, reflects his State of the Union promise to fully fund the Land and Water Conservation Fund. In Maine, environmental groups are supporting a $100 million combination bond issue, surplus and private donations package for public land acquisitions sponsored by Senate Majority Leader Chellie Pingree (D-North Haven). Private organizations such as The Nature Conservancy and Maine Coast Heritage Trust are also weighing in on the issue and, in some cases, purchasing land themselves.
