Code of Maine Rules 04 - DEPARTMENT OF CONSERVATION
Code of Maine Rules (CMR) – Title 04: Department of Conservation
🔍 Overview:
Title 04 of the Code of Maine Rules (CMR) contains the rules and regulations issued by the Department of Conservation, which was historically responsible for overseeing Maine’s natural resources, including public lands, forests, parks, and geological resources.
⚠️ Note: In 2012, the Maine Department of Conservation was merged with the Department of Agriculture to form the Department of Agriculture, Conservation and Forestry (DACF). As a result, some older rules may still appear under CMR Title 04, but new or updated rules are likely to be found under CMR Title 01 (DACF).
