New BCC Member

I am happy to report the appointment of David Wilkins as a member of the BCC by the Bremen selectmen. The BCC welcomes David's enthusiasm, conservation mindedness and hands on approach, notably his work in the re-establishment of a sustainable alewife population in Webber Pond. We are looking forward to working with David and continuing to establish conservation as an important aspect of life in Bremen!


Taking a moment to teach local youth about the life cycle of an alewife

"Meet Your Farmer" short films Nov. 5

The Medomak Valley Land Trust and the Maine Farmland Trust will host a showing of eight short films that offer viewers a taste of where Maine's food comes from.  The films will be shown at 6:30 p.m., Friday, Nov. 5, at the Waldo Theatre, 916 Main St., Waldoboro.  The documentaries tell the diverse stories of eight Maine farms, from Aroostook to York, from potatoes to dairy, and from large commercial operations to small famrs that sell directly to local people.  
 
After the films are shown, refreshments will be served that are made with locally grown ingredients.  Suggested donation for the screening is $5 per person.
