Southern Maine Chapter of RGS is celebrating the chapter president’s birthday today! Celebrate with us by donating to your favorite conservation group!

Email us if you want to help send a kid to conservation camp by buying a shirt or tote bag for $20! Summer camp is about to start and we would love to support as many kids as we can to get their hunter safety cards and start the next generation of conservation hunters!

Our friends with the Casco Bay Chapter of Ducks Unlimited are looking for some help filling tables at their event Saturday! The Southern Maine Chapter of RGS will pay for half the table if we can fill it with 8 people! That makes $35 a ticket and goes towards a great cause! I will also throw in an RGS glass for everyonee at the table!

We want to help support all wildlife in Maine! Ducks are just as important as the upland birds! Let’s help fill up this banquet!

Message me to join the table!
