Partner Event: Building Better Buffers
2025-03-11 17:30 - 18:30 (America/New_York) | Coastal Maine Botanical Gardens: Bosarge Family Education Center
Building a better buffer isn’t just for folks living on a water body. Buffers can support sediment and erosion control in any part of the watershed! Whether you are trying to improve your shoreline, reduce erosion from your driveway, improve habitat, or you want to buffer your property from unwanted sights or sounds, this talk is for you.
Rebecca Jacobs, Natural Resources Program Manager at the Boothbay Region Water District, will explore the importance of vegetative buffers. She will outline ways to implement these buffers on a variety of sites using native and climate adaptive species. Handouts will be provided to all attendees with guidance to help you develop effective buffer plans on your own property.
This lecture is the first in a three part series, From Forests to Faucets, brought to you by the Boothbay Region Clean Drinking Water Initiative. This series is free to the public. Participants do not need to attend all sessions (each session stands alone and participants can attend as many or few as they choose). Light refreshments will be served. For more information, please contact Bailey Charron at bcharron@bbrlt.org

Event Full: The State of Maine Loons
2025-03-06 10:00 - 11:00 | Boothbay Region Land Trust’s Oak Point Farm, 60 Samoset Rd, Boothbay Harbor, ME, 04538
**** This event is full. Please consider joining us for another program. **** Join us for an engaging presentation by Nick Lund, Maine Audubon’s Network and Outreach Manager, as we explore the fascinating world of the Common Loon. A Maine native and renowned birder, Nick is well-known for his entertaining and insightful writing in publications like Audubon, Slate, Down East, and National Geographic, as well as his popular online presence at “The Birdist.”
The Common Loon, with its haunting calls and striking appearance, is a symbol of Maine summers. But how much do you really know about this iconic bird? Do loons migrate? What do they eat? How long do they live? Why are they important, and how many are there?
In this program, Nick will take an in-depth look at the physiology and habits of the Common Loon, revealing how its unique body is perfectly adapted for underwater hunting and the seasonal rhythms that bring it to Maine’s lakes. He will also discuss the threats loons face and the ongoing efforts to protect them.
For more than 35 years, Maine Audubon has been a leader in studying loon populations, identifying causes of loon mortality, and advocating for policies to ensure their survival. Come learn how these efforts help preserve the loon’s place in Maine’s natural heritage, ensuring that their calls continue to echo across our lakes for generations to come.
