  1. #UMaineCooperativeExtension - Bulletin #2750, An Introduction to #SeedSaving for the #HomeGardener

    By Mark Hutton

    "Rediscovering Seed Saving

    "Seed saving is an ancient art that enabled humans to cease being hunter-gatherers. Up until the end of World War II, home gardeners typically saved their own seeds, because high-quality seeds at affordable prices were generally not available. However, seed saving declined with the development of the commercial seed industry, which made low-cost, high-quality vegetable and flower seeds readily available. Presently, renewed interest in #heirloom, unique, and locally adapted vegetable and flower varieties is sparking a resurgence in seed saving.

    "Seed-saving is a natural next step for passionate gardeners. Saving seeds not only allows home gardeners to save money; it provides them with an opportunity to express their creativity! This is because saving seed is a form of selection—the very basis of plant breeding. When choosing which plants to save seed from, a gardener must decide which plants have the most desirable characteristics in terms of meeting their goals for plant size, yield, fruit quality, maturity date, attractiveness, etc., thus helping to improve the offspring. When you save seed from your garden, you can create a cultivar uniquely suited to your location, your aesthetic sensibilities, and culinary tastes. Saving seeds takes time, planning, and attention to detail. Here are some basics to get you started on your seed saving adventure."

  11. #UMaine #TickLab - #Ticks of Maine

    "There are fifteen different tick species that have been found in Maine, though not all are permanent residents. Some may arrive in the state on wildlife hosts and do not establish viable populations. Other species have thrived in Maine and are now widespread throughout much of the state. The biology and ecology of ticks can vary significantly based upon species and can determine the level of threat each species poses.

    The Most Commonly Encountered Tick Species of Maine:

    - Blacklegged Tick or #DeerTick (Ixodes scapularis)
    - American #DogTick (Dermacentor variabilis)
    - #WoodchuckTick (Ixodes cookei)

    Other Tick Species Found in Maine:

    - Asian Longhorned Tick (Haemaphysalis longicornis)
    - Brown Dog Tick or #KennelTick (Rhipicephalus sanguineus)
    - Gulf Coast Tick (Amblyomma maculatum)
    - Ixodes angustus
    - Ixodes brunneus
    - Ixodes dentatus
    - Ixodes gregsoni
    - #LoneStarTick (Amblyomma americanum)
    - Mouse Tick (Ixodes muris)
    - Rabbit Tick (Haemaphysalis leporispalustris)
    - Seabird Tick (Ixodes uriae)
    - Squirrel Tick (Ixodes marxi)
    - Winter Tick or #MooseTick (Dermacentor albipictus)

    Please note: This video was filmed using non-stick cookware that contains PFAS, also known as “forever chemicals.” As of January 1, 2026, the state of Maine has banned the sale of cookware with intentionally added PFAS, including non-stick cookware coated with Teflon used in these videos. Mainely Dish now uses PFAS-free alternatives in Extension programs and videos. Certain non-stick coatings on cookware, such as PTFE, commonly known by its brand name Teflon, may contain per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS). PFAS are associated with numerous health and environmental effects. Below are resources to help consumers avoid PFAS exposure while using non-stick cookware and make informed decisions about purchasing PFAS-free alternative."

  21. #Maine - #WabanakiAlliance holds U.S. Senate candidate forum, participants discuss gaps in #IndigenousEducation

    By Arianna Perdomo on April 20, 2026

    "Democratic U.S. Senate candidates #DavidCostello and #GrahamPlatner outlined their positions on tribal sovereignty and education during a debate organized by the Wabanaki Alliance on April 16 on Indian Island in Old Town, which is home of the #PenobscotNation. The event was hosted by Penobscot Nation members and offered a chance to discuss non-partisan policy affecting #WabanakiNations and candidates’ plans to support those communities.

    "Located less than 15 minutes from the #UniversityOfMaine, #IndianIsland sits along the #PenobscotRiver. This reservation serves as a cultural and historical center for the Penobscot people. Within the community there are buildings and museums that reflect ongoing preservation efforts of Wabanaki culture. According to the Wabanaki Alliance, the Penobscot Nation is one of the oldest continuous governments in the world and remains committed to protecting territories, culture and language as a federally recognized #SovereignNation.

    "The debate was moderated by Dr. #DarrenRanco, chair of the #NativeAmerican programs at #UMaine. Notably, Democratic candidate Gov. #JanetMills and five-term Republican candidate Sen. #SusanCollins were extended invitations to participate, but were not in attendance. However, Costello and Platner offered insight on their approach to ongoing issues facing Wabanaki nations.

    "Opening remarks were delivered by #MaulianBryant, executive director of the Wabanaki Alliance and Chief of the Penobscot Indian Nation, #KirkFrancis. Each candidate then gave a five minute opening introduction explaining why they are running.

    "The first round of the debate consisted of eight questions surrounding topics of tribal sovereignty, environmental justice, regulation and the implementation of legislation that would help address these issues. Costello and Platner agreed that there needs to be a restructuring of the government and a new balance of power. Both candidates stated that they would support legislation that helped extend the power to engage the Wabanaki people in issues that are important to them."
