#LandBack: #Mikmaq Nation Acquires More Than 80 Acres
Native News Online Staff
Tue, September 8, 2026"The Mi'kmaq Nation has added 83 acres to its land base on its northernmost reservation in Maine. The land is adjacent to a community center and tribal housing where 48 residents live.
"According to a press release, the parcel's former owner offered to sell the land to the Nation before listing it for sale. The Tribe partnered with land conservation nonprofit #TrustForPublicLand. #TPL raised the required funds to meet the landowner's acquisition timeline so the land could be transferred to Mi'kmaq Nation as soon as possible.
"The acquisition — called #Pugweliget , or 'living together in a group' — is the Nation's second this year. In June, it obtained the title to 3,400 acres in Aroostook County, Maine, doubling its land holdings.
"While the latest acquisition immediately benefits the residents of the housing center, Shannon Hill, Environmental Health Director for the Mi'kmaq Nation, said all tribal members will have access to land for foraging, hunting, fishing, and cultural practices.
"The Mi'kmaq Nation is honored to have been entrusted with another land return this year. Although this property has much fewer acres than the 3,400-acre land return earlier this summer, each land return is unique and meaningful in its own way," Hill said in a press release. "The ability to take a walk and connect with the land as we did thousands of years ago without fear of trespassing is of far greater importance here than the number of acres."
Pugweliget is the latest milestone in an effort dubbed the Tributary Land Returns, a collaboration between the five federally recognized Wabanaki Tribes and seven non-native organizations, to return over 50,000 acres to Wabanaki communities across 11 different projects. Once completed, the TLR will be the largest return of private lands in U.S. history. Seven of the projects have been completed since 2019."

@rmblaber1956 If someone asked me what my "miracle day" looked like, I would say "Spending time in nature with no ticks." If you asked me when I was 8, I would have said the same thing (but without the ticks. Mosquitoes were my nemesis back then. Now I'd gladly deal with mosquitoes over ticks).

#FalmouthME - #NocturnalByNature: #MigratingBirds!
September 16, 6:30-8 pm"Join us for a well-timed seasonal program about migrating birds, and how you can help them journey safely on their way.
In the final part of the series, ecologist Deborah Perkins will focus on the migratory stage of a bird’s life cycle and how we can support their (mostly nocturnal) flights.
Songbirds in particular face an array of challenges during fall migration, and each one of us can do something to help.
Learn
- How birds are capable of physiological and navigational feats unparalleled in the animal kingdom.
- How to take action on the ground that will help birds aloft, and during stopovers.
- Why many birds migrate at night, and why #BirdFriendlyLighting is so important.$25 Member/$30 Nonmember

I somehow missed this event... TODAY! September 14th! (There's another session in October...)
#FalmouthME - #NativePlantWalk at #GilslandFarm
September 14, 4-5 pm
October 19, 4-5 pm"Join #MaineAudubon staff for seasonal walks through the gardens, fields, and natural areas of Gilsland Farm. These informal guided walks offer an opportunity to observe native plants throughout the growing season while exploring their relationships with birds, pollinators, and other wildlife.
Each walk will focus on what is happening in the landscape at that moment—from late-season blooms and seed production to fall color, wildlife activity, and seasonal changes in habitat. Along the way, participants will learn plant identification skills, ecological concepts, and practical ideas for incorporating #NativePlants into their own landscapes.
Whether you’re new to native plants or a seasoned gardener, these walks provide a chance to slow down, sharpen your observation skills, and deepen your connection to the natural world.
These walks meet at the Ann & Jim Hancock Native Plants Education Center.

#PownalME - #BradburyMountainStatePark Selected as 2026 Leave No Trace Spotlight
Community Events Set for September 3–5
Three days of activities will bring together #LeaveNoTrace, #MaineStateParks, volunteers, and community partners to celebrate and care for one of Maine's treasured outdoor spaces.
Pownal (August 25, 2026) - "The Maine Department of Agriculture, Conservation and Forestry #DACF announced today that Bradbury Mountain State Park in Pownal has been selected as a 2026 Leave No Trace Spotlight, bringing three days of community events, outdoor education, and hands-on #stewardship to the park and surrounding area September 3-5, 2026.
"The Leave No Trace Spotlight program recognizes outdoor spaces across the country that can benefit from increased community engagement and collective care. During the Spotlight, the Subaru/Leave No Trace Traveling Team will work alongside Maine State Parks staff, volunteers, and local partners to provide opportunities for people of all ages and experience levels to learn practical ways to protect the places where they recreate.
" 'Bradbury Mountain is a place people return to again and again, to hike, bike, gather with family, take in the view, and enjoy being outside,' said #ChrisSilsbee, Manager of Bradbury Mountain State Park. 'Being selected as a Leave No Trace Spotlight gives us a great opportunity to bring the community together, have some fun, and put stewardship into action. Whether you join us for trivia, sit around the campfire, or spend Saturday working on a trail, there’s a way for everyone to be part of it.'
"Activities begin Thursday evening in #FreeportME and continue through Saturday at Bradbury Mountain State Park."

So, growing up in the country, I would track rabbits... Sometimes catching them, but always releasing them. To me, it was all about using my senses and being in touch with nature, and being still... Traits I still utilize to this day...

While waiting for my friend to arrive, I found a secluded picnic table and wrote in my diary. I haven't written in a diary in years! Not a physical one, anyway. I would sometimes write me-only posts on FB, but of course, those weren't really me-only, and now FB locked me out. It felt good to write down my thoughts and feelings, surrounded by trees, with the sounds of the nearby ocean, sea birds, and children playing at the beach.

#Maine - New section of #EasternTrail opens 15 months early
by Katie Delaney
Fri, August 7, 2026"A new section of the Eastern Trail is now open.
"It's the final link connecting Bug Light in #SouthPortlandME and downtown #SacoME. The 1.6-mile addition to the trail goes through Scarborough and South Portland. Now people can walk, run, and #bike along 16 miles of uninterrupted #OffRoadTrail.
"It's part of the greater #EastCoastGreenway, which goes from #Maine to #Florida.
"Bit by bit, gaps between paths are being filled until it becomes a complete off-road journey along the coast. The new Eastern Trail section is the latest step toward that goal.
"At a ribbon-cutting ceremony on Thursday, South Portland Mayor Elyse Tipton said it's about more than just connecting trails.
" 'It's about connecting communities and fulfilling a vision that has been years in the making,' she said.
"The project was completed 15 months ahead of schedule.
" 'Which is something frankly just unheard of,' Tom Hall, the town manager of Scarborough, said. 'All the credit in the world goes to this group of folks that got together to really deliver a first-rate project.'
"Avery Seuter, from Wells, was eager to try out the new trail.
" 'First reactions, this is just gorgeous, like you couldn't have picked a better area to come through,' he said, walking along the trail."
[...]
"The executive director of the #EastCoastGreenwayAlliance said their next goal to get closer to completing the Eastern Trail is to close the gap over the #SacoRiver and down to #KitteryME."

#Rewilding #GolfCourses, A Right Decision?
"Golf courses have long been a symbol of #luxury and #exclusivity, occupying vast areas of land around the world. However, concerns over their #environmental impact, high #WaterConsumption, and use of pesticides have led to growing works to repurpose them for more #sustainable purposes.
"A small but growing trend is emerging, where abandoned or struggling golf courses are being #rewilded, turning them into thriving #ecosystems that benefit both #biodiversity and local communities.
"From #Scotland to #California, projects are underway to restore these landscapes, transforming carefully manicured greens into #WildflowerMeadows, #woodlands, #wetlands, and #WildlifeCorridors.
"These works offer a promising way to combat biodiversity loss, reduce water waste, and reconnect people with nature."

"Learn what to look for (and what to avoid!) This walk is designed to be an introduction to the mycological world of Maine, with a particular focus on #EdibleMushrooms.
"The first half hour or so of class will be devoted to covering basic fungal biology and life cycle, mushroom myths/truths, and foraging practices. From there, we’ll head into the forest and scan for mushrooms, discussing our finds as we go. The species we are likely to find vary depending on season and location. By the end of class, participants will walk away with growing confidence in several choice species and inspiration to learn more.
"Meet the Instructor:
Louis Giller has spent about 15 years studying, growing, foraging, and most importantly eating mushrooms. His mycological journey began at the University of Denver where he studied environmental science and conducted oyster mushroom research inspired by Mycologist Paul Stamets. He joined North Spore about 9 years ago where he primarily works on R&D, marketing, education, and community outreach."We strongly suggest you wear long pants and sturdy shoes or boots.
