*RESCHEDULED** BHHT Volunteer Day!
*RESCHEDULED** BHHT Volunteer Day!
April 4, 2025 @ 1:00 pm - 4:00 pm 48 Ferry Lndg Rd, Sargentville, ME 04673, USA
**RESCHEDULED for Friday because Thursday is looking rainy/snowy.**
Blue Hill Heritage Trust is hosting our first volunteer day of 2025 on FRIDAY, April 4th, from 1 - 4 pm. We will be over in Sargentville at "The Landing" otherwise known to us as Edgehill (directions below).
We will be doing some property cleanup to help prep and clean up the area of woody debris for a new increased accessibility trail being built later this year. (The property has been hit with strong winds these past few years knocking down a lot of trees. We've since cleaned up the trees and now have a good amount of limbs and sticks left.) Volunteer tasks will be fairly straightforward, our goal is to go around the open portion of the property and pile all the down sticks and branches into piles so we can quickly and efficiently come with our chipper and chip them.
Please bring plenty of water, muck boots (recommended) or closed-toed shoes as the property is wet and has lots of woody debris, and work gloves. Blue Hill Heritage Trust will provide all the tools needed (we have spare gloves if you don’t have any).
Volunteers of all ages are welcome to come out and participate, this event is open to the public.
If you're interested in attending, please email Andrew at: stewardship@bluehillheritagetrust.org so we get a sense of participation numbers for the day.
Address: 48 Ferry Landing Rd, Sargentville, ME. Directions: Coming from Brooksville direction on rt 175 going south, drive to the end of the road where rt 175 and Reach Rd meet. Turn Left onto Reach Rd. Continue for 0.6 miles and turn down Ferry Landing Rd on the right. We will be meeting almost at the end of Ferry Landing Rd. There's room for a few cars to park, with overflow parking at the end of the road at the town launch. Any questions, please email or call the office.

Friends From the Field: Localizing Climate Change and Taking Action
April 10, 2025 @ 4:00 pm - 5:00 pm
Anyone who lives in Maine or follows the news knows that sea-level rise is driving more frequent and widespread coastal flooding along Maine’s 5,000+ miles of tidally influenced coastline, and communities are searching for ways to adapt.
Join BHHT and IHT as we learn about local climate impacts from the Gulf of Maine Research Institute (GMRI).
GMRI and GEI Consultants completed a Climate Vulnerability Assessment in 2024 for the towns of Blue Hill, Brooksville, and Surry. Members of the project Oversight Committee and residents of these towns will join to share how these communities are using this data to take action.
