Maine is on the leading edge of the country in learning about – and responding to – PFAS contamination. Join us for a two-part Zoom webinar series about what PFAS are, how they impact our water, farms, and health, and what comes next.

Are there questions on your mind you’d like to see the panel explore? Each event will include space to address questions from our community – submit your question when you register, or use the live webinar Q&A box.

Part 1: What Do We Know?

What are PFAS, and how are they impacting water, agriculture, and human health in Maine – and across the nation? Learn the basics about what we know about PFAS contamination, why it matters, and where we stand now.

Co-moderated by Tricia Rouleau, MFT Farm Network Director and Mehr Sher, BDN Environmental Reporter.
