Photographers and Writers Wanted

The Bremen Conservation Commission is looking for volunteer writers and photographers to cover a variety of topics for our blog. Whether your passion is kayaking the Medomak, hiking, birdwatching, recording weather, keeping a journal of your summer in Maine, covering local events, writing poetry or photographing wildlife we need you. Maintaining a conservation blog requires fresh perspective from a variety of individuals and to be interesting we need people actively engaged in contributing material. If you have something you'd like to share on a part time or regular basis please let us know by emailing bcc@tidewater.net or calling Dennis at 529-2987.

Hope to hear from you!

Oryx said...: That's a great idea. Dennis, I'm on the St. George Conservation Commission. We too are working on an Alewife restoration project. I'm hoping to get pictures this spring, but scheduling can be a trick (introduction of 500 more fish to Marsh in Tenants Harbor).
In the meantime you can go to YouTube and search Alewives Return to Tenants Harbor to see a 4 minute video from May 2009.; May 3, 2010 at 6:54 AM
Bremen Conservation Commission said...: Very cool. Perhaps we can share restoration stories in the future. David Wilkins is the alewife guy here in our town and he does a tremendous job!; May 8, 2010 at 12:24 PM

BCC Background | 2007- Present

Since 2007 the BCC has dedicated itself to understanding the natural resources of Bremen and the conservation values and priorities of Bremen residents. Through numerous public forums and events the BCC determined a general public sentiment toward conservation which led to a lengthy process of developing a conservation plan consistent with the Comprehensive plan and public input. This plan established a baseline for where Bremen was in terms of protecting our natural resources and set forth strategies within the plan according to the four main points indicated within its mission statement.

In the latter half of 2010 the BCC began to realize that while many strategies in the Bremen Conservation Plan had been achieved, the most important work had yet to begin. In order to proceed the BCC needed to confirm conservation priorities and in January 2011 the BCC held an interactive public workshop to consider what types of projects might be considered if funded by the Bremen Land Conservation Reserve Fund (LCRF). Interestingly, this workshop affirmed what the BCC had already learned in earlier work. The results gave the commission a clear path in developing and undertaking conservation projects consistent with the conservation plan.

Quote of the Day

"Be the change that you want to see in the world." Matama Gandhi
"True conservation provides for wise use by the general public. The American people do not want our resources preserved for the exclusive use of the wealthy. These land and water resources belong to the people, and people of all income levels should have easy access to them." George D. Aiken
"The purpose of conservation: The greatest good for the greatest number in the long run." Gifford Pinchot, first Director of the U.S. Forest Service
