Programs

Below are our ongoing programs

• Water Quality Monitoring - We coordinate with volunteers in the Biotoxin Monitoring Program with Maine DMR, and we’ve helped monitor brook trout streams for five years, providing important data for the EPA.

• Free pH Soil Testing - We have a 24-hour drop box for soil samples, and you’ll get your results back in a few days, for free.

• Equipment Loaning - The District lends out Oxygen testers, a lopper saw for brown tail moth removal or orchard pruning, and soil augurs for testing and soil profiles.

• Volunteer Spring Cleanup - Each spring on Earth Day we participate in the annual Ellsworth Card Brook and Roadside Cleanup.

• Sales - Each year we hold a Native Plant Sale, and a Trout Sale to help keep native species and healthy habitats alive and well in Maine.

• Shellfish Resiliency - We recently conducted a clam flat productivity in collaboration with the Downeast Institute, FBRSC clammers, and District volunteers.

• And much more!
