Environmental

Groups

Dear New England Environmental Leader:

I am pleased to provide you with an updated issue of The
Directory of Environmental Groups. The Directory provides a
listing of numerous private organizations and public agencies in
the New England region that are involved in environmental
stewardship and ecosystem protection.

As we pursue innovative ways to protect the environment, those
of us at EPA-New England are committed to improving our
relationships with our partners. We are dedicated to
communicating more effectively our successes, clarifying our
shared environmental challenges, and engaging the public more
thoroughly in our work. It is my hope that the Directory will
stimulate the coalition building and the exchange of information
needed to further these efforts.

Please contact my external affairs office at (617) 565-3423 with
any new information regarding your organization. We would
like to keep the Directory as current as possible.

Thank you for your help and hard work.
John P. DeVillars
