Midcoast Conservancy is thrilled to announce that Pete Nichols will become its new executive director in April of 2021. A seven-month national search drew an impressive slate of candidates but Nichols’ experience, vision and strong roots in Maine make him the right person to lead Midcoast Conservancy to new levels of effective and imaginative restoration, conservation and protection work in the Midcoast area. Originally inspired by the lakes, rivers, and coastal waters of Maine, Nichols has always been a committed advocate for the environment. For nearly 30 years, he has worked to protect the world’s waters and wildlands from the redwood forests of northern California, to the majestic Tigris River in Iraq, and the shores of Lake Victoria in Kenya.
