SUMMARY:Monthly Meeting - Cashes Ledge - The Yellowstone of the North Atlantic
DESCRIPTION:After diving on Cashes Ledge at Ammen Rock\, a peak that sits just 27 feet below the surface at low tide\, globally famous marine researcher Sylvia Earle\, said it was the “The Yellowstone of the North Atlantic.” University of Maine marine scientist Dr. Robert Steneck\, who spent years studying the ledge’s benthic habitat describes it as\, “The Lost World”. Ocean researchers have long considered this 32-mile-long underwater mountain range\, in the central Gulf of Maine\, a biological hotspot and an oceanic gem.  \nIn July 2024\, Conservation Law Foundation submitted nomination papers to NOAA to create a Cashes Ledge National Marine Sanctuary. The proposed sanctuary is 766 square miles in size with 194 miles being completed protected. It would encompass the underwater mountain range\, ledges\, ridges\, and surrounding deep water basins. This massive range of ledges creates upwellings of cold nutrient-rich water that fuel an explosion of plankton\, that feed herring\, squid\, and mackerel\, who in turn are prey for tuna\, sharks\, seabirds\, and a high diversity of marine mammals. Cashes holds the deepest and densest kelp forest on the Eastern Seaboard and an environment abounding in fish including a red-colored cod and exceptional benthic life.  \nJoin whale watch naturalist and marine conservationist Zack Klyver\, who has visited Cashes numerous times and led several day trips to Cashes Ledge through his company FLUKES. In 2011\, he saw a dozen North Atlantic Right Whales there. On his 2023 tour over 100 guests saw eight species of marine mammals\, 51 species of birds\, along with Basking sharks and ocean sunfish. At the ledge they found two finback whales feeding\, an exuberant pod of nearly 100 Common Bottlenose dolphins\, and a great diversity of oceanic seabirds. In August 2025\, they spotted a large Leatherback Sea Turtle.  \nZack Klyver Bio:  Zash has participated in marine mammal eco-tourism and conservation from the Arctic to Antarctica\, including guiding over 3\,000 whale watching tours on the Gulf of Maine. In 2011\, he founded FLUKES: International Whale Tours\, to take the public to see whales in the best places in the world. Zack co-founded and served as Science Director for a Maine based business in 2019\, that worked on the conservation of the North Atlantic Right Whale for four years by testing ropeless lobster fishing gear and pioneered the use of ropeless fishing in gillnet fisheries. In 2020\, he co-founded and currently co-chairs the North Atlantic Whale Watch Naturalist Association. Today\, Zack is a marine mammal advisor to the Blue Green Future\, developing natural capital markets including the economic value of whales based on their ecosystem services. His parents went to Africa to teach school\, and he was born in Nairobi\, Kenya. He grew up in a commercial fishing family in Eastport\, Maine and is a graduate of the College of the Atlantic with a B.A. in Human Ecology. \nPhoto Credits: \nBrian Skerry          Kelp growth on Cashes Ledge

SUMMARY:Take Pride in Acadia Day\, 2025 - Rescheduled to 11/9
DESCRIPTION:Due to the government shutdown\, TPIAD has been moved to Sunday\, November 9. If the government is still shutdown on November 3rd\, the event will be cancelled. \nTammy and I cannot attend on the 9th\, so there will be no official MOAC group this year. If you would like to participate as an individual\, please sign up here: \nTake Pride in Acadia Day \n \nYou will be assigned to random groups. \nI have left the original information from the event below. \n———————— \nFor 34 years\, volunteers have gathered on the first Saturday of November to help ready the famous carriage roads for winter. Sponsored by Friends of Acadia\, teams are assigned troublesome sections of carriage roads where erosion can cause damage over the winter. The task? Rake the leaves and debris off the shoulders and into the woods. MOAC has had members at this event for many years. We have a team that will work together. \nMost who sign up make it a weekend\, but that is not required. The actual commitment to the park is from roughly 8:30 am to noon on Saturday. If you choose to make it a weekend\, the rest of the time is yours. \nThere is no cost to the event itself. If you choose to stay over\, you will need to find your own lodging. Tam and I are staying at the Bar Harbor Grand Hotel\, right in downtown and that has been the hotel of choice for the most part for a few years now. But\, you can do as you wish in this regard. The Grand offers a free breakfast. Local restaurants for the rest. \nExcept for the provided lunch after the work Saturday. After our work commitment is done\, we can head over to the Hulls Cove Visitors Center for a “CCC” lunch. Chili\, cornbread\, and cider.  Aside from the ingredients\, it’s named to honor the Civilian Conservation Corp\, who did a lot of work in Acadia.

SUMMARY:Fun Paddling Celebration and Race – Presumpscot River
DESCRIPTION:The Presumpscot River Revival Race returns for the first time since 1995! The Friends of the Presumpscot River is reviving an historic paddle race to celebrate over 30 years of river restoration. Once the most dammed river in the US\, the Presumpscot is now flowing freer and cleaner thanks to decades of community advocacy.\n\n\nThis event is about more than friendly competition on the water. It’s a celebration of the river‘s resilience\, the people who have fought for its revival\, and the communities it continues to sustain. With paddling food\, foliage and family-friendly fun\, this race is both a tribute to the past and a rallying point for the future work to restore this beloved river.\n\n\nRegistration by QR code or here: https://www.eventbrite.com/…/presumpscot-river-revival…\n\n\n#PresumpscotRevival #PaddleReconnectProtect

SUMMARY:MH&T’s Flagstaff Hut - We have openings
DESCRIPTION:SIGNUPS ARE NOW OPEN. PLEASE REGISTER AT:  \nhttps://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdScmbD7dSU4brpSL2P8XYrUXrLyhGtKfPX_PXMFC4jm6h5CA/viewform?usp=header \nThe cost is $155 per person for the weekend. \nPay with Venmo at: @Peter-Mullen-12 (If asked for a code\, 6701) \nOr\, mail a check to: \nPeter Mullen \n38 Lawrence Rd. \nGray\, Maine 04039 \nWe will answer any questions you have at any time. \nLink to more details about the weekend: https://docs.google.com/document/d/127U-JGs13hf6obzho7g3dklZqcaPsjw056ZQWiGNeR4/edit?usp=sharing \nJoin us for the 12th annual Maine Huts & Trails weekend. MH&T’s operates four “ecolodges” along their network of trails in the Bigelows and Flagstaff Lake. For this weekend\, Flagstaff Hut\, on the eastern shore of the lake is all ours. \nIt’s far more than a hut. A full commercial kitchen\, hot water\, showers\, electricity\, composting toilets\, etc. Sleeping is bunk room style. This “hut” has a capacity of 48. We hope to limit it to 40 or so. \nActivities can include hiking\, mountain biking\, paddling (boats and gear provided)\, swimming\, or doing nothing. You must walk in. From the parking lot\, it is 1.5 miles on a service road or two miles on actual hiking trails. Gear shuttle provided if you can get there by a certain time on Friday and possibly later. This would mean leaving your gear in a building at the parking lot and it will be delivered in (and out) so you only have to walk. \nYou only need to bring clothes (slippers)\, sleeping bag\, pillow case\, personal items\, earplugs\, and food as described below. You DO NOT need to bring anything to cook with or to eat on. Refrigeration is available but limited. You will have access to the kitchen. \nThe way the food works\, you provide your own food for Friday\, Saturday morning and noon. You will be asked to bring a “slice” of Saturday night’s dinner which all the “slices” will be combined for a fantastic feed. We are thinking about a “Friendsgiving Feast” this year. On Sunday morning a portion of your payment for the weekend will provide a full spread breakfast. Pancakes\, frittata\, bacon\, sausage\, fruit\, granola\, yogurt\, etc. Vegetarian? Vegan? We have options for everyone. Coffee and tea and hot chocolate provided at least in the morning. Potable water available anytime. You will need to bring any other beverages you desire. BYOB for alcohol.

DESCRIPTION:I’m considering extending the “camp day” and going out on the water to view the almost full moon.  I’m not sure of the exact time the moon will be high enough to see over the trees\, probably not before 7:30 or 8:00.  But I’m thinking maybe get on the water at 7:30.  I’ve asked some neighbors who are currently on the lake at night about timing.   If I hear back with a more precise time frame for moon visibility\, I’ll update here. \nI expect it to be chilly\, so dress appropriately.  I may have some hot chocolate in my thermos….  I have scuba booties for my feet\, but in the past some have worn high rainboots to be sure their feet stay warm and dry.  Plan on an hour or so of paddling\, one and a half at most. \nYou MUST have a LIGHT to go on the water after dark.  I recommend something like a glow stick illumination vs something really bright when on the water and maybe a headlamp for dealing with the boats before and after.  A thin necklace type glow stick won’t be enough\, but they make larger ones.  I also have a spotlight that lights up the yard pretty well for when setting up and putting away the boats.  I have extra boats and gear – but NOT sure about lights.  Though I’m going to see what I can find. \nPlease RSVP if you’re interested in this by noon on Saturday.  I won’t go out alone and want some time to plan ahead if others want to join me.

DESCRIPTION:Supposed to be another beautiful\, sunny day on the lake.  Join me for games\, lounging or playing in or on the water.  The water was still nice for swimming last weekend – not for me personally\, but we had a few hardy folks out there last week.  🙂   I’ll be there by 1:30 and plan a meal around 5:00 for those that want to stay for food and maybe a fire when it cools off.    BYO food and drinks. \nI have kayaks and SUPs and floaty things\, or bring your own.  Show and go\, but it’s nice to know who’s coming – last minute is fine.  Let me know if you need the address.  207.eight oh seven .2729 or lmitchell75 at aol.com \nI’m also considering doing a (almost) full moon paddle for those that want to stick around – or come just for that.  There will be a separate post for it\, so please read that if you’re interested. \n

SUMMARY:Walk the trails along the in-town side of the Presumpscot River
DESCRIPTION:Another hidden gem in Westbrook along the Presumpscot River.  Park on Dana Street (across from China Villa on Main Street in Westbrook.)  We will walk up the river on a series of mowed paths\, visit the Wabanaki Chief Polin mounment and sacred space\, say hello to the goats at Conant Farm and return via a different configuration of trails to our starting point.  Optional lunch in Westbrook.  I suggest Veranda Thai across from Riverfront Park on Main Street.  Come explore and reflect on the history of the river and the protection that Chief Polin (pronounced Acadia/Quebecois-style Poulin) demanded for the protection of the food supply of fish in the river\, and the effort for restoration and protection later taken on by the Friends of the Presumpscot River decades ago.  Total walking time two hours or so.  Wear supportive sneakers or trail shoes.  Show n’ Go\, no need to contact anyone ahead of time.

SUMMARY:MOAC Trail Maintenance Day
DESCRIPTION:Join the MOAC trail crew on Saturday September 27th for a day of trail maintenance on our 2 adopted trails on Pleasant Mountain\, the Bald Peak Trail and the Sue’s Way Trail.  As summer fades into fall\, our focus will simply be cleaning out waterbars\, removing debris from the trail\, clipping back limbs and brush\, and raking some of the early leaves. \nWe’ll start our day at 9am at the Bald Peak trailhead parking lot.  The parking lot is on Mountain Road\, Bridgton – about a mile past the ski area.  We usually end around 3 or 4 pm. \nThere’s no experience needed to volunteer for trail maintenance.  Just a desire to give back to all the trails we love and enjoy hiking.  That said\, I will tell you it is a somewhat steep trail.  But it doesn’t really feel like it\, as we are always stopping to work\, then hike a little more\, then work a little\, then hike\, then work\, … you get the idea.  Before you know it\, we’ve cleared the trail and we’re sitting at the top having lunch! \nI’ve submitted my request to Mother Nature for good weather.  But you should be prepared if it is a cool or damp day.   If it turns out to be a rainy day\, I’ll reschedule.  Please wear sturdy footwear\, work/hiking clothes\, and bring work gloves.  You will also need to bring plenty of water\, your lunch\, and a day pack.  Most members will volunteer for the whole day. But you’re welcome to join us for the morning or just the afternoon.  All volunteers are good volunteers !    Please let me know if you plan to join us.  An email or text is great. \nDana-ah the Maintain-ah \ndanathurston1@gmail.com   or  207-650-5197 \n

SUMMARY:Hike Libby Hill in Gray and joyful hour
DESCRIPTION:It will be cooler (supposedly) on Saturday so please join me for a hike on the Libby Hill Forest trails in Gray.  They’re near the schools across from Hannaford\, off Route 26.   I plan on a hike of about an hour and a half.  There are a variety of trails with various difficulty and we’ll see which ones the group wants to do.  Mostly conversational pace\, but we’ll keep moving.  We can split the group if some want or need a slower pace or shorter\, easier trail.  It’s been a while since I’ve been there\, but the trails were generally well marked. \nYou can see the trails here:  https://libbyhill.org/trail-maps/ \nFor those willing and able we’ll head to camp (about 10 minutes away) to eat\, drink and be merry.  The happy hour committee doesn’t like others to use the term happy hour on so as not to confuse things with the “official” club happy hour.  🙂  I will probably not do the grill\, but will bring a sandwich or something.  BYO your own food and drinks.  Folks are welcome to just come to camp later if they don’t want to do the hike.  I expect to be there by 4:30-ish. \nPlan to arrive so we can be on the trail at 2:30. \nShow and go.  No dogs please.  And no ferrets.  You can text 207.807.2729 with questions

SUMMARY:Outdoor Concert at Conant Homestead\, Wstbk
DESCRIPTION:The final outdoor concert for the season will feature singer songwriter Carolyn Shapiro. She is a hidden gem.\nCarolyn plays the claw hammer banjo style. Her songs are very moving\, personal and rich with imagery. She weaves her love of rivers within many of them. Not a common instrument to solo on her banjo playing is very unique and takes the claw hammer style to new places. Carolyn hails from upstate New York where she was 2022 Folk Artist of the Year in the Capital Region. She has a wonderful voice and is a delight as a performer.  She performed at the Ossipee Valley Music Festival recently and made a big impression with her talent. This will be a great show to end a wonderful series of concerts.  Show n’ Go!  The board is posting and there is no designated leader.\nSeptember 19th\n89 Conant Street\, Westbrook\nMusic begins at 7:00 but come early and walk the farm and fields\n$15.00 suggested donation to the artist\nBYO chairs\, blankets\, food and drink (There is lots of great takeout in Westbrook.)\nParking is on the street but also the FREE parking garage is a 10.min walk away.\nWe also have goats … we are very family friendly.\n\nSee you soon\,\nMichael and Malory\,\nhttps://www.facebook.com/share/p/1YnGyZMJxF/\nhttps://carolynshapiromusic.com/#shows

SUMMARY:Weather dependent hike to Mt. Kineo\, Rockwood\, ME Sunday September 7
DESCRIPTION:Plan to meet at the Rockwood ferry shuttle at 10:00 to boat over to Mt. Kineo State Park.  Cost is $15.00 CASH per person paid directly to the captain of the shuttle and $5.00 CASH for the State Park entry fee.  Park fee is variable depending on age and residency.  The Rockwood Public Landing is a 45 minute drive from Lily Bay State Park.  I will be leaving Lily Bay State Park Group Site at 9:00.  Car pooling is suggested. \nWe have several options of hikes.  I would like to do the 4-5 hour moderate hike up Indian Cliff Trail and down the North Trail.  There is also the Bridal Path Trail which is easier but does not have the same views.  For a flatter trail option there is the carriage road out to Hardscrabble Point or the trail to Pebble Beach which is on the North side of the island. \nBring good hiking shoes\, poles\, water\, lunch\, snacks\, and CASH. \nThe shuttle leaves Rockwood Public Landing to Kineo on the hour every hour from 9:00 to 4:00.  The shuttle returns from Kineo 10:45\, 11:45\, 12:45\, 1:45\, 2:45\, 3:45 and last trip is 4:45.  I am hoping we will make the 3:45 ferry after the 4 to 5 hour hike\, but if it takes longer we will catch the 4:45. \nAs stated in the event title\, this could be a weather dependent hike. \nText me at 617-694-8543 if interested. \n

Inside the huts\, the warmth of a woodstove\, shared meals\, and laughter among strangers-turned-friends create moments of genuine camaraderie. Not long ago\, MH&T was confronted by operational challenges made even steeper by the pandemic. From uncertainty emerged something powerful: a fully committed board\, hardworking staff\, and our dedicated community rallied together to reimagine MH&T’s future. \n6:30PM Social;   7:00PM  Program Start\nA2U2 Church\, 524 Allen Ave.\, Portland
