The commission is hosing a FREE Resilient Shorelines Workshop on Monday, November 9th at 5:30 PM in East Boothbay. This is a great opportunity for shoreline property owners, and stewards, to learn best practices for a healthy and stable shoreline.

Learn planning and management strategies for building coastal resilience to hazards, and pathways for incorporating nature-based design principles. Through expert presentation, discussion of local scenarios, and open forum Q&A, you will leave with an understanding of nature-based management, regulatory, and enforcement strategies at the watershed and municipal scale for maintaining long-term hazard resilience and habitat stewardship.

Mountain biking season is nearing an end, and we're looking ahead to a winter full of skiing and snowshoeing. Our amazing Volunteer Sarah Plummer led youth mountain bikers on the trails at Hidden Valley Nature Center Preserve on a cool fall Monday afternoon. We love to see kids get out on the trails and get active! The support of our members and donors, and the dedication of our volunteers, is a large part of what makes this work possible.

Putting the COAST in Midcoast Conservancy!
Did you know that Midcoast Conservancy conserves land and waters from the headwaters, far inland, all the way to the islands dappling our bays?

"We hold several conservation easements as well as a few preserves on some islands. Coastal islands are important to conserve as they support unique ecosystems and provide important habitat for nesting and migrating seabirds. These islands also come with quite the view and are facing increasing development pressure. We work hard to make sure these vital places are around for everyone 💚 While it takes a little extra work to get out the the islands, the journey is always worth it."
- Medomak Regional Stewardhip Manager, Morganne Price

Time for a little Creature Feature! 🐢

Did you know baby snapping turtles hatch as late as September? This little baby was spotted in the middle of a path just 3 weeks ago in the making their way to the water. Nests can be up to 1.9 miles from their home waterways! Thankfully, this little one didn't have to go quite so far, since their mom had preserved habitat for nesting.
After 40 million years, these turtles still persist through the challenges of an ever-changing landscape, and hopefully have another 40 million more ahead of them. Conservation matters for us all, big and small!
