  • Meet the Rockland Bog: A Talk by Marie McNeely (Community Room with Zoom option)

    Come learn about one of Rockland’s biggest natural climate solutions – the largest peatbog in MidCoast Maine. Marie McNeely, Director of Partnerships at the Georges River Land Trust will offer a talk on the underappreciated value of peatbogs and acquaint you with the Rockland Bog, a giant sponge that stores carbon and mitigates the effect of climate change. You’ll also learn a little bit about the lore of bogs around the world and about the Rockland Bog’s history. The wilderness around the Rockland Bog has been a favorite of local bikers, hunters, and outdoor enthusiasts for generations. It’s home to waterfowl, wading birds, deer, beavers, rabbits, and even a rare dragonfly. The Georges River Land Trust is working to conserve the area around the bog; join us to learn more about their efforts and uncover the mysteries of this often overlooked local treasure.

    The Georges River Land Trust’s mission is to conserve the ecosystems and traditional heritage of the Georges River watershed region through permanent land protection, stewardship, education, and outdoor experiences. GRLT is a network of conservation easements, trails, and preserves protecting more than 4,000 acres with 70+ miles of public trails.
