Live Staking Demonstration
2026-05-12 14:00 - 16:00 | Boothbay Region Land Trust’s Oak Point Farm, 60 Samoset Rd, Boothbay Harbor, ME, 04538
Join Boothbay Region Land Trust, in partnership with Boothbay Clean Drinking Water Initiative, Maine Forest Service, Knox-Lincoln Soil & Water Conservation District, and Boothbay Region Water District, for a hands-on Live Staking Workshop at Oak Point Farm.
This interactive workshop will be led by Maine Forest Service District Forester Jared Gregory and will focus on the basics of live staking, a simple and effective streambank and shoreline restoration technique. Participants will learn how to harvest live stakes and take part in a planting demonstration, gaining practical skills to help stabilize shorelines and improve riparian habitat.
Please come prepared to work outdoors. Wear weather-appropriate clothing and sturdy boots, and bring work gloves and hand pruners or loppers if you have them (we will have extras available).
Whether you’re a landowner, volunteer, or simply curious about conservation practices, this workshop offers a great opportunity to learn by doing and connect with local conservation partners.
