Kate Dempsey is the State Director of The Nature Conservancy in Maine. She has served in the role since 2016 and has been with The Nature Conservancy since 2003, working primarily in the federal policy and external affairs arena.
Under Kate’s leadership, TNC in Maine is making significant investments in reducing and managing the effects of climate change by joining together science and policy with placed-based actions to restore and conserve the connections between the forests, rivers and ocean in Maine.
At TNC in Maine, Kate recognizes and prioritizes that the best conservation outcomes are achieved when they integrate community knowledge coupled with conservation science. She is leading efforts to evolve our conservation strategies to better partner with Wabanaki neighbors and to integrate equity into all our conservation strategies.
Kate serves on Governor Janet Mills' Climate Council as the environmental representative and she supports the successful implementation of The Nature Conservancy’s 18-state Appalachian program.
Under Kate’s leadership, TNC in Maine recently completed a comprehensive fundraising campaign that raised more than $250 million from private philanthropy, public funding and market-based revenue. This generous funding is leading to significant conservation progress throughout the state, including:
launching projects to conserve more than 200,000 acres of forest all around Maine;
protecting and reconnecting 1,828 miles of rivers and streams, leading to 21 million sea-run fish returning to Maine rivers;
ensuring that 90% of groundfishing trips are effectively monitored in the Gulf of Maine, helping to rebuild six stocks to sustainable levels;
working to raise Maine’s renewably sourced electricity supply to 65%;
benefitting 79 towns and cities with environmental risk reduction tools;
conserving or restoring almost 32,000 acres of freshwater and coastal wetland habitat;
providing more than $12 million of financial support for global conservation efforts in 54 different places around the world.
Looking forward, Kate and a talented team are launching the Kennebeck River Restoration project, moving toward closing on the 78,000-acre Magalloway Forest and Water collaboration and working with the town of Dover-Foxcroft to advance fish passage and enhance community safety.
Prior to her state director role, Kate helped lead TNC's public policy initiatives in Maine—first as senior policy advisor for Federal Affairs, where she successfully secured $10-15 million per year in public funds for TNC's conservation work in Maine, and then as director of external affairs, where she managed the chapter's policy initiatives, public partnerships and marketing efforts.
Early in her career, Kate served as a VISTA (Americorps) with Habitat for Humanity in Kansas City, Missouri; a program associate for the Friends Committee on National Legislation in Washington, DC; and as a director at Cambridge United for Smoking Prevention for the City of Cambridge, Massachusetts. Kate then moved into congressional work, first working as economic development director and then district director for former Representative Marty Meehan (MA) and then as economic development director for former Representative Tom Allen (ME).
Kate holds an undergraduate degree in government and sociology from Bowdoin College and a master’s degree from Tufts University's Department of Urban and Environmental Policy. In 2017, she was presented with the Tufts University Graduate School of Arts and Sciences Graduate Alumni Outstanding Career and Service Achievement Award.
Kate grew up in Philadelphia, where she developed an early focus on social justice and community development. A Mainer since she moved to Phippsburg, Maine in 2000, Kate now lives with her family in Bath, Maine. Kate’s favorite places in Maine (and maybe the planet) are TNC’s Debsconeag Lakes Wilderness Area and Popham Beach State Park. Her non-work time is most happy when she’s with her family, hosting good friends and exploring Maine’s conservation lands.
Efforts to Connect More Mainers to Nature Deserve Our Appreciation and Support
By Andy Beahm and Kate Dempsey
This commentary first appeared in Bangor Daily News on June 24, 2025.
As leaders of two statewide conservation organizations, we’ve been dismayed recently to see some pointed criticism of the Maine Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife’s (DIFW) outreach initiatives. From our perspective, breaking down barriers that have traditionally limited who partakes in Maine’s outdoor heritage is an unequivocally good thing, both ecologically and economically.
Our organizations are dedicated to helping Mainers care for the natural world. This means increasing the shared understanding of our connection to the environment, and working to ensure that every Mainer has a chance to experience nature. The more connected we feel to the natural world, the more inspired we’ll be to conserve and restore Maine’s iconic lands, waters, and wildlife.
On the other hand, the less connected people are to the natural world, the less likely we are to care for it in our daily lives. Around the nation and the world, studies show that people are becoming increasingly disconnected from nature. This growing gap creates challenging headwinds for sustaining a natural resource-based economy, healthy air to breathe, and clean water to drink.
Engaging people in outdoor activities is a powerful antidote to that growing disconnect. In Maine, hunting, fishing, and other types of outdoor recreation have long been central to our conservation ethic. From our forests, lakes, and wetlands to our rivers, marshes, and ocean, getting Mainers outside is essential to broadening awareness of the vitality and fragility of our ecosystems.
Nature is also a prime economic driver for the state. Maine’s outdoor recreation economy generates over $1 billion annually. This includes more than 229,000 licensed hunters, 365,000 licensed anglers, and hundreds of thousands of hikers, boaters, birdwatchers, ATVers, snowmobilers, paddlers, and others who enjoy the Maine outdoors. Notably, a growing proportion of these participants are women: Maine boasts one of the nation’s highest participation rates of women in hunting and fishing.
Building and sustaining an economy like this doesn’t happen by accident. It takes work. Here in Maine, much of that work is led by DIFW, which has prioritized introducing more Mainers from all backgrounds to outdoor pursuits. Under the leadership of Commissioner Judy Camuso and her team, we have seen the effects of these efforts in many ways, in all corners of the state. We applaud their work, which is besting national trends.
For instance, while hunting license sales have declined by nearly 10 percent nationally since 2018, they have jumped 7 percent in Maine over the same period. And while fishing license sales are stagnant nationally, they have increased over 6 percent in Maine in that same time. Mainers are enrolling in more of the state’s outdoor skill and safety courses, too, which have reported 93 percent growth during Commissioner Camuso’s tenure.
Maine has a rich legacy of bold, thoughtful conservation, but much work remains — especially in the face of a changing climate. Strengthening Maine’s conservation ethic by connecting more Mainers to nature is a big and worthy project, and it needs everyone. If we work together, act with respect and care, and welcome all, we can build a healthy, sustainable future in Maine for generations to come.

Maine Conservation Learning to Shift from “Protecting” to Connecting
For decades, conservation organizations around Maine have worked tirelessly to conserve and steward Maine’s natural places. The phrase “land conservation” has traditionally meant “protection from” – from development, from impacts, from people. In so many ways, this understanding has shaped how we have approached this work.
For thousands of years, the Wabanaki – the Abenaki, Maliseet, Mi’kmaq, Passamaquoddy, and Penobscot people indigenous to the place we now call Maine – have lived on and with these lands and waters. Their traditions and ways of living are informed by generations of direct experience with and knowledge of nature. Rather than considering people as separate from the natural world, Indigenous cultural practices have prioritized living in relationship with it. Despite the atrocities and injustices of colonialism, the Wabanaki continue these practices today.
In recent years, a movement has gained strength among Maine conservation organizations to learn the true, complicated history of colonialism in this region, to grapple with conservation’s role in it, and to incorporate those lessons into our work. This has meant learning to listen to Wabanaki voices on the power of Indigenous-led conservation. It has included learning from and with groups like Wabanaki REACH and First Light, which provide an invaluable bridge between Wabanaki and non-native communities. It has included working to build trusting relationships with Wabanaki people. It has included more than a few mistakes and stumbles, as well as some heartening progress. And it is only just beginning.
One thing our organizations have learned through this process is that this work is central to our collective missions. From preserving biodiversity to addressing climate change, the best, most durable conservation outcomes are only possible when we have strong relationships with people and communities. Indigenous communities have the longest connection to the lands and waters where we live and work. Partnering on projects, restoring access, and supporting Indigenous-led conservation is an essential path to a healthy, sustainable future.
Increasingly, land and people throughout Maine are benefitting from this understanding. Collaborative projects among sovereign Wabanaki governments, Wabanaki non-profits, private landowners, and Maine conservation groups are on the rise. In just the past few years, our organizations have had the honor of supporting land rematriation in downeast Maine, where an island known as Kuwesuwi Monihq was returned to the Passamaquoddy Tribe; partnering to develop signage that incorporates Indigenous knowledge and language into storytelling at Long Point in Machiasport and Erickson Fields in Rockport; and collaborating to return more than 30,000 acres of ancestral land known as Wáhsehtəkʷ, near Katahdin, to the Penobscot Nation. Projects like these are leading to increased access to land and water for Wabanaki people.
Maine is fortunate to have the Wabanaki Commission on Land and Stewardship to help guide this work. It includes representatives of the Penobscot Nation, the Passamaquoddy Tribe at Indian Township (Motahkomikuk), the Passamaquoddy Tribe-Pleasant Point (Sipayik), the Houlton Band of Maliseet Indians, and the Mi'kmaq Nation. Working together, these leaders seek to improve the health and wellbeing of Wabanaki people by expanding their access, management, and ownership of lands. Their guidance has led to the return of land to Wabanaki people, and to partnerships with the conservation community on specific projects that are returning lands and waters to all of the Wabanaki Nations in Maine.
As leaders of three statewide conservation organizations, we are committed to this work, and we are excited about how it is strengthening conservation in Maine and beyond. Real progress will take ongoing dedication from groups like ours, as well as from private organizations and public agencies. It will also require greater investment from public and private funders for efforts like the Wolankeyutomone kisi apaciyewik (“Let us take good care of what has returned”) Fund, which supports direct, unrestricted grants to Wabanaki projects created by Wabanaki people, their organizations, and their governments.
Nature needs us to be in relationship with it and with each other. If we can strengthen our relationships with the lands, waters, and communities, we can build a brighter, more sustainable future for all our children, for all generations.

2023 brings new opportunities to invest in Maine’s climate resilience
By focusing on vulnerable communities, local government and small business, the Legislature can ensure our state makes the clean energy transition equitable.
Energy prices are front of mind for Mainers, and with good reason.
Winter weather is becoming increasingly unpredictable, and our reliance on fossil fuels to heat our homes and power the grid means we regularly feel the effects of global events in our wallets. The Legislature now appears poised to pass a bill to provide direct emergency relief to Mainers, which will alleviate some of the current pressure. If we want to avoid finding ourselves in the same situation again, we need to turn our attention to finding long-term solutions.
To achieve this, we should build on the clean energy and energy efficiency accomplishments of the past four years. In that time, Governor Mills and the Legislature have made tremendous strides toward helping Maine address our energy and climate crises, investing in home and business weatherization, heat pump incentives, electric transportation and clean electricity to reduce our reliance on costly fossil fuels. Now our lawmakers have an important opportunity to take that progress to the next level—making key investments to speed Maine’s clean energy transition. They should seize it.
To start, we should continue to diversity our electricity generation. Renewable energy has advanced substantially in recent years, becoming a cost-competitive source of electricity that can save all Mainers money. The Legislature should direct the Public Utilities Commission to procure additional solar and wind energy to lock in low electricity prices for ratepayers through long-term power purchase agreements.
With transportation contributing over half of Maine’s greenhouse gas emissions, lawmakers should also take steps to increase the supply of electric vehicles in the state. Adopting clean car and clean truck standards like those recently adopted by Vermont will ensure that Mainers have access to the latest models at auto dealerships in the coming years. We also need to provide robust funding for a range of clean transportation and heating measures, from Efficiency Maine’s rebate and financing programs to MaineDOT’s public and active transportation projects.
Through my participation in Maine’s Climate Council, I heard from Mainers from across the state who are urging us to take action now. By focusing on ensuring that modest-income Mainers, vulnerable communities, local governments and small businesses benefit first and most, the Legislature can help ensure Maine makes this transition equitably. By siting new clean energy infrastructure thoughtfully and strategically—prioritizing solar projects on brownfields and other degraded or developed lands, for example, we can move forward rapidly but also responsibly.
Measures like these can dramatically reduce our dependence on fossil fuels. Even then, Maine communities will continue facing the effects of climate change in the years ahead, whether in the form of sea level rise on the coast, unpredictable weather and seasonal shifts, or increased flooding of our roads and bridges.
It’s equally important that lawmakers continue investing in community resilience initiatives so our towns can rise to face these challenges. Programs like the Community Resilience Partnership and state support for municipal planning can make an enormous and critical difference throughout Maine.
A key opportunity in this regard is the Department of Environmental Protection’s municipal stream crossing grant program. Without additional funding for towns to upsize their culverts, the increasing frequency and intensity of storms in Maine will lead to more road washouts like we saw in Jackman this past summer. This under-the-radar program has funded close to 200 culvert upgrades from York to Fort Kent over the past eight years—but funding will soon run out without legislative action. It’s essential that we build on this and other successful programs, while taking full advantage of new federal funding opportunities.
The 131st Maine Legislature is taking important action to address high energy costs. Now, they should build on the progress of the past four years and make real headway toward addressing the root causes of our climate and energy crises. The new year and the new legislative session present a unique opportunity to do exactly this.
Thank You, Maine Delegation!
August 4, 2020
Today, President Donald Trump officially signed the Great American Outdoors Act, which will fully fund the Land and Water Conservation Fund (LWCF) and make critical investments in our national park system and other public lands. This historic conservation victory will result in significant federal investment in nature and access to public lands. The bill demonstrated broad bipartisan support in Congress and passed with wide margins in both the House and the Senate.
Maine’s Congressional delegation each played important roles in passing the Great American Outdoors Act. Senator Susan Collins has championed the Land and Water Conservation Fund (LWCF) throughout her entire career in the Senate and her consistent support played a big role in passing this effort into law. Senator Angus King was a key co-sponsor of the Great American Outdoors Act and spent many hours drafting the language and advocating for it with Administration officials and his colleagues in the Senate. Congresswoman Chellie Pingree serves on the Appropriations subcommittee that oversees annual funding for LWCF and has worked tirelessly to boost and maintain funding for conservation. Congressman Jared Golden served as an original co-sponsor on the House bill and voted for permanent reauthorization back in 2019 as one of his first votes in Congress.
Over the last 50 years, Maine has received approximately $191.6 million in funding from LWCF. This support has permanently protected iconic Maine places like Acadia National Park, Grafton Notch, and Wolfe’s Neck Woods State Park along with community boat launches, fishing access points, and parks. LWCF also encompasses the Forest Legacy Program, which focuses on protecting privately owned forest lands for public benefit. In Maine, the Forest Legacy Program has been a key aspect of our LWCF success by conserving more than 741,000 acres with $76 million.
The bill combines two conservation proposals that each have strong bipartisan support. The first provides full and permanent funding of $900 million each year for LWCF, an amount derived from offshore oil and gas revenues—not tax dollars. A recent economic analysis shows that every $1 million invested in LWCF could support between 16 and 30 jobs. Additionally, research on the impact of the LWCF shows that $1 spent generates $4 in economic value from natural resource goods and services alone.
The second part of the bill invests $1.9 billion annually for the next five years toward maintenance in national parks, other public lands and at the Bureau of Indian Education. Over $20 billion in direct visitor spending is disseminated each year to local communities adjacent to national park sites. A recent National Park Service study of maintenance investments in this legislation found that it will support an average of 40,300 direct jobs and a total of 100,100 direct and indirect jobs over the next five years.
Maine’s identity is rooted in our natural places—and so is our economy. Passage of this bill is an enormous victory for our state and represents many years of dedication to the benefits of conservation. Fully and permanently funding the Land and Water Conservation Fund will spark job creation and critical investment in Maine’s communities, economy, and future. Our organization thanks Maine’s Congressional delegation for their leadership in passing this bill.
