#FalmouthME - #GilslandFarm #BirdWalk

Thursday, Feb 26 2026
8:00 am - 10:00 am

"Join us for a weekly bird walk at Gilsland Farm, led by #MaineAudubon’s Staff Naturalist #DougHitchcox and others. Meet in the parking lot, in front of the Visitor Center, where we’ll begin a slow walk around the property to look and listen for birds using Gilsland’s diverse habitats. Free, no registration required.

The walk typically covers between 1 to 2 miles (1.5 – 3 km). Waterproof shoes are recommended as the paths can be damp with dew in the mornings and icy when frozen. Please bring your binoculars, but we do have extra pairs if you need them, just ask Doug when you arrive.

Maine Audubon strives to provide inclusive and accessible programs for all members of the community. If you require accommodations to participate in this program, please email [email protected]. Maine Audubon can best meet the needs of requests submitted at least seven days before the event start date."

Standing on #Maine’s #overpasses, #protesters combat #hopelessness

Part of a growing national movement, local members of the #VisibilityBrigade set up on a #FalmouthME overpass each week to protest the actions of the Trump administration.

by John Terhune, September 24, 2025

Excerpt: "Over the last six months, the small but growing collective has been gathering on the Lunt Road overpass, armed each week with a fresh slogan and a deep arsenal of flags, signs and eye-catching accessories.

“SUPPORT OUR VETS.”
“DUE PROCESS FOR ALL.”
“SAVE MEDICARE.”

"The highway overpass is, admittedly, an imperfect medium for political discourse. The group’s weekly messages must be short and simple enough for speeding drivers to catch before they race by. Commuters’ responses can’t offer much more nuance than a quick honk of appreciation or a middle finger out the window.

"But the Visibility Brigade isn’t really setting out to change hearts or minds anyway, the group’s leaders say. That task, if it’s possible at all in an increasingly polarized America, is beyond anything they can accomplish from the side of the road. Instead, their goal is to reassure the quietly despondent that they aren’t alone, one wave at a time.

" 'It takes away the powerless feeling,' said Pamela Fischer. 'We want to make this light and positive and welcoming.' "

An excellent resource from #EcoMaine!

#FoodWaste and #Composting

"Did you know that almost a third of what we throw away is leftover or spoiled food? If Maine is to achieve a 50% recycling rate, we need to recover our food waste, too – it’s worth the weight!

"ecomaine added food waste recycling to our sustainable waste management solutions in order to help Maine reach its recycling goal. We continue to build food waste recycling capacity in southern Maine, serving as a central collection point for grocery stores, institutions, and participating cities and towns.

"Collected food waste is transported to #ExeterME’s #AgriEnergy [#AgricycleEnergy] to be de-packaged and anaerobically digested to produce sustainable power, organic farm #fertilizer, and cow bedding for the #Maine family dairy farm #StonyvaleFarm. Any packaging removed from the food waste is delivered back to ecomaine to be burned for energy—keeping all of it out of our #landfills!

"By making #composting, anaerobic digestion, and food waste recycling so easy, we encourage our communities to dispose of their waste responsibly.

"For more on compost that’s 'Worth The Weight,' check out our informational pamphlet!

#BackyardComposting

"Backyard composting is one of the easiest ways to keep organic material out of the trash. It also has some other great advantages:

- It doesn’t weigh your trash down as much.
- It doesn’t get into ecomaine‘s waste-to-energy plant, making our combustion more damp and less efficient.
- It’s easy – and “grass-cycling” (leaving clippings on the lawn) is better for your grass!
- It saves Maine’s towns money on collection and hauling.
- And it saves YOU money on trash bags!

"There are no trucks or driving involved – no carbon emissions! You just walk it out to your bin, and that’s it.

"In the end, composting produces rich #soil for flower and vegetable #gardens – without paying for it (again) at the store.

Drop Off Locations

"If you’re looking for a compost drop-off location, instead of putting it in your backyard, here are a few… If you know of one that’s not here, let us know! (Some facilities may be for residents only; we advise calling ahead if you’re not sure.)

[I've found that transfer stations are usually residents only...]
