The Kennebec County Soil & Water Conservation District announces its upcoming election for District Supervisor. One elected position is currently open. Currently, Charles Noyes is running for the three-year open position.

Thank you to all who attended our invasive plant workshop at Viles Arboretum. Participants learned about how invasive plants spread, the importance of early detection, resources available to landowners, and invasive species they could encounter in Maine forests. The afternoon included a hands-on site walk where we put some of that information into practice.

Check out upcoming opportunities and resources for Maine farmers, including the Maine Farms Gubernatorial Forum and SARE’s second edition of its cover crop handbook.

Attendees visited Bicentennial Nature Park to learn about live staking and how it can be used for erosion and sediment control.
