Tremendous Tides in the Gulf of Maine- An Online Intern led Event!
Tremendous Tides in the Gulf of Maine- An Online Intern led Event!
August 5, 2025 @ 4:00 pm - 5:00 pm
Join BHHT for this online Intern led event!
The Bay of Fundy and the Gulf of Maine are home to some of the most extreme tidal ranges and velocities in the world, but why? Why do the tides rush into the Gulf so quickly? Why is there such a big difference between sea level at low tide and high tide? Join Blue Hill Heritage Trust intern Vienna on Zoom for a webinar exploring these questions and more on August 5th from 4-5pm. Although anyone is welcome to log on, this content will include some technical definitions and vocab that may be more interesting to those 12+.
Vienna is a rising senior at the University of Maine in Orono and is studying Environmental Science and Marine Science. She has taken multiple oceanography classes as part of the Marine Science curriculum and is excited to share some of the interesting things going on in the Gulf of Maine!

Hiking Peters Brook this week?
Join Blue Hill Heritage Trust intern Renee at a pop-up table session (on our Peters Brook Trail) to talk about the history of the white pine, Maine's iconic tree.
Stop by on Wednesday, August 6 between 10:00 AM and 12:00 PM for a short (5-10 minute) conversation (and activities) on how the trees incited riots and helped win the American Revolution, becoming a symbol of freedom and independence.
**Visitors are welcome to drop in at any time during the program, and are not expected to stay for the duration.**
Renee is a rising senior at Colby College studying environmental science and geology. She wrote a research paper on white pine for an environmental history class this past fall and is excited to share some of what she learned about the interactions between people and place.
We will be out at our Furth Talalay Sanctuary in Surry, rebuilding and replacing bog bridging along the Talalay loop. Tasks will include assembling new bog bridging.
Most of our material has already been brought out and staged thanks to GSA students last fall (so no carrying slabs long distances ☺️) and footer logs cut last week by our stewardship staff and interns.
Many hands could make quick work of this long section of bridging.
Please bring plenty of water, boots or closed-toe shoes (recommended) as the area we will be in will be wet, and work gloves. Blue Hill Heritage Trust will provide all the tools needed (we have spare gloves if you don’t have any), as well as extra drinks and snacks.
If you're interested in attending, please email Andrew at: stewardship@bluehillheritagetrust.org so we get a sense of participation numbers for the day.
Volunteers of all ages are welcome to come out and participate, this event is open to the public.
**BHHT Volunteer Days occur twice a month throughout the spring - fall seasons. Every 1st and 3rd Thursday of the month from 1-4pm (unless otherwise specified). Mark your calendars and check out postings regularly for information on up-coming dates, tasks and locations**
