Arthur Bartlett Hague

WATERFORD – A. Bartlett Hague, of Waterford, was a lifelong leader in conservation and environmental protection. In his over four decades of public service, Bart helped implement the Clean Water Act under the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) in Boston; plan the National Trails System; and mitigate environmental impacts of the interstate highway system, and served as President of nonprofits Newton Conservators and Maine Lakes. After retiring, he was active in Maine’s environmental movement, and, with his wife, placed their 475 acres in conservation easement.

Bart earned degrees from Yale University and the University of Michigan.

He is survived by his wife and intellectual partner of 61 years, Mary Ann Conner Hague (nee Whitehead); three children: son Art Hague and daughter-in-law Shivaun Pryor, daughter Beth Hague and son-in-law Libo Liu, and daughter Mary Hague Yearl; and by three grandchildren, Joe and Athena Yearl, and Nathaniel Liu.

No public service is planned.
