SUMMARY:Low Low Tides Seaweed Harvest Workshop
DESCRIPTION:We’re harvesting seaweed during low\, low tides in 2026! Join us for seaweed\, clams\, and all the rest: \nJoin Smithereen Farm and other curious people for a week of learning\, harvesting\, processing\, and eating together. We will cover the ecology and biology of the seaweed ecosystem\, hand-harvest techniques\, regulations\, drying\, processing and culmination of the wild algae species that abound in our area. \nHarvesting\, drying\, recipes\, ecology\, and natural history are all part of the Low Low Tides adventure. Downeast Maine is famous for our 22-foot tides\, and the cold Labrador current creates extraordinary algal abundance.

SUMMARY:“Paint the Peninsula Week”  Fresh Paint Auction
DESCRIPTION:If you were out and about on the Blue Hill Peninsula recently\, you may have seen artists capturing a local landscape on canvas as part of the Blue Hill Public Library’s annual Paint the Peninsula fundraiser. More than ninety artists will create over one hundred paintings for the week-long auction\, which starts Monday\, July 13th. \nThis much-anticipated annual event showcases the work of local and seasonal artists\, including newcomers\, in an online auction during the week of July 13th to 18th. There will be a closing reception on Saturday\, July 18th from 5:30 to 8:00 p.m. The final moments of bidding will take place during the reception\, which always leads to additional excitement. Last year’s auction yielded over $50\,000 in revenue and raised almost $34\,000 for the library. \nDuring the auction week\, paintings will be available for viewing online\, or in-person at the library. Offering a broad range of painting styles and points of view\, Paint the Peninsula Week is a great opportunity to start buying local art or add to an established collection. \nThis is the Blue Hill Library’s largest event fundraiser. Proceeds support both the library’s operating budget and the local arts community. Anyone can place bids on the auction website at www.fundraiser.support/BHPLptp2026. \nThe library is grateful once again to this year’s lead sponsor\, the Merle B. Grindle Agency of Blue Hill\, and to major sponsors\, the Brooklin Boat Yard\, Camden National Bank\, and First Light Realty.

SUMMARY:Save Our Summits Hike
DESCRIPTION:Hike to one of Acadia’s iconic summits AND help Acadia National Park’s efforts to restore native vegetation! \nAcadia National Park\, in collaboration with Friends of Acadia and Schoodic Institute\, invites tenacious hikers to bring bags of soil to the summits of Penobscot and Sargent Mountains to be used for plant restoration. You’ll get to choose how much soil you’ll carry – carrying as little as five pounds (about the size of a large freezer ziplock bag) is a huge help! This soil is integral to the ongoing summit restoration efforts in Acadia National Park. \nAdvanced registration is required for this event. Please register at https://friendsofacadia.org/soilhero

SUMMARY:Cobscook Bay Ecology Series: Peter Neill and Lavinia Currier
DESCRIPTION:Join us online or in person at the Peavey Memorial Library for a conversation with Peter Neill\, founding director of the World Ocean Observatory. \nFundy\, Cobscook and Passamaquoddy bays are places of extraordinary marine abundance. The St. Croix river alone is estimated to have returned upwards of 30 million alewives per year\, according to the DFO of Canada that number may have been closer to 100 milllion. Historical abundance in herring\, pollock\, halibut\, cod was central to the indigenous and early settlement experience of this place. We still have the greatest diversity of commercial fisheries in the state of Maine. \nConventional thinking attributes the diminishment of traditional fisheries to overfishing\, but fisheries scientists have long known that the impairment of river and coastal habitats\, the loss of productive habitats for juvenile fish\, forage fish and the connectivity between rivers and sea have the power to restore populations. From sturgeon to elver to alewives\, species after species have in fact rebounded from fishways and habitat restoration work. The salmon farming industry would have us believe that the only way to enjoy fish from the sea is to farm it\, unfortunately the farmed fish are eating wild fish ‘from away’\, and contaminating the wild fish right here with their effluvia. The open net pens are coming up for renewal\, and a matter that deserves public input– but other threats are also proposed for our bays. A 400 million dollar proposal for underwater AI datacenter\, huge cruise ships making noise that impacts cetaceans and eco-tourism\, a proposed tidal barrage across the Pennamaquan that would totally block fish passage– to name a few. How can we organize to protect our bays\, how can we participate in decision making that will allow for the survival of this place we love? What can we learn from other places that have succeeded to protect their ecosystems and to see rebounding of native fish?

In 2016 he received an appointment with the Climate Change Institute and represents the W2O as a Research Associate; he previously served 20 years as President of the South Street Seaport Museum\, New York; is co-founder of The Sound School and The Harbor School; and has dedicated his career to marine affairs. He is the author of many non-fiction books related to ocean issues\, available wherever books are sold. He lives in Downeast Maine and hosts a radio show on WERU called Land of the Pointed. \nModerator: Andrew Kimbrell is an attorney\, author\, and public interest advocate. He also holds a graduate degree in psychology. He currently serves as Executive Director of both the International Center for Technology Assessment (ICTA)\, which he founded in 1994\, and the Earth Advocacy Institute\, founded in 2023. \nKimbrell is Executive Director Emeritus of the Center for Food Safety (CFS)\, which he founded in 1997. He continues to serve on the CFS Board of Directors as Chair of its Litigation Committee. During his tenure as Executive Director\, CFS\, among numerous other accomplishments\, helped create and defend the U.S. Organic Food Standards\, successfully litigated to halt the commercialization of several genetically engineered crops\, challenged and shut down numerous polluting factory farms\, and secured protections for endangered species\, including the monarch butterfly. \nUnder Kimbrell’s leadership\, CFS also engaged in a successful twenty-year legal\,\nlegislative\, and grassroots campaign to prevent the production and commercialization of genetically engineered salmon. The organization also succeeded in blocking the initiation of a multi-billion-dollar open-ocean fish farming industry in federal waters\, thereby helping protect wild fish populations and coastal communities.\nCFS also opposed industrial finfish and shellfish aquaculture\, helping secure a permanent ban on commercial net-pen operations in Washington State’s public waters. As Executive Director and senior attorney at ICTA\, Kimbrell initiated the successful 2007 Supreme Court case that held the Environmental Protection Agency responsible for addressing greenhouse gas emissions under the Clean Air Act. \nKimbrell is the author of several books on psychology\, technology\, and environmental issues\, and is the editor of Fatal Harvest: The Tragedy of Industrial Agriculture. His articles and essays have appeared in numerous law reviews\, magazines\, and newspapers. Among his most notable publications is the Twenty-Third Annual E. F. Schumacher Lecture\, “Salmon Economics (and Other Lessons).” \nHe is currently completing Earthkind: Recovering the Human Place in the Community of Life scheduled for publication in 2027. In 2007\, The Guardian named Kimbrell one of the fifty people in the world “most likely to help save the Earth.” He resides in Phippsburg\, Maine.\nThe Cobscook Bay Ecology Series is a season-long learning series on Cobscook Bay Ecology presented by Downeast Salmon Federation and Greenhorns. \nJoin us to learn more about the unique ecology of our beautiful bay and the rights we have as citizens to participate in shaping marine policy and governance. Speakers and experts from around Maine and the wider world present on topics of relevance as communities and regulators evaluate the plans for expansion by Cooke Aquaculture.
