Citizens United and Involved!

Members of Citizens United to Protect the Maurice River and Its Tributaries, Inc. (CU) are involved in a wide variety of projects and activities that cover all aspects of watershed protection. We are committed to our mission of preservation and protection, and we focus our activities on achieving these goals.

Citizens United is a volunteer, nonprofit corporation dedicated to the preservation and protection of the Maurice River watershed for the enjoyment of this and future generations. Founded in 1979 by local residents and incorporated as a charitable organization in 1986, we now number over 430 memberships. The diversity of our membership affords us the opportunity to work in close contact with other environmental organizations, sharing each other’s knowledge and expertise.

We participate in many local, state and national cooperative conservation programs and serve on numerous government advisory and policy-making boards. Our members are also involved in keeping land trusts updated on possible land acquisition projects.

Citizens United members enjoy continued success in achieving our goals of funding projects that will protect and enhance our natural resources. These successes renew our commitment to educate the public about the area and work toward the elimination of present or proposed land and water uses that could damage this valuable watershed.
