2010 Knox-Lincoln SWCD Tree & Shrub Sale Huge Success!  

On behalf of the Knox-Lincoln Soil & Water Conservation District Board of Directors, I would like to extend a hearty thank you to the following people for donating their time, energy and assistance to help at the 2010 Tree & Shrub Sale.  What a wonderful way to help the community and promote conservation education in MidCoast Maine. The Tree & Shrub Sale fundraiser was certainly a lot of work, but ask anyone who helped and I’m sure they’ll agree it was a lot of fun as well.

We are very fortunate to have so many dedicated individuals who are willing to lend their support to maintain our conservation efforts.  This year’s sale was one of the best ever but it wouldn’t have been possible without the dedication and perseverance of our volunteers.

Stephan Plessner, Tony Grotton, Mark Hutchinson, Nancy Brown, Lila Ward, Joan Gregoire, Rebecca Jacobs, BJ Dobson, Perry Ells, Laura Rodgers, Dave Shaub, Terry Spear, Mary Thompson, Tim Hathorne, Dave & Barbara Hayden, Mark Hedrich, Herman & Marcy Lovejoy, Carol Higley, Ken Stewart, Sharon Stone, Larry & Mary Thornburg, Joe Murray,  Patrick Thompson, Peter Thompson and Michael Ward.

Thank you very much to the courtesy extended to the District by the Spear family, we were able to receive the nursery stock and prepare the orders for pick-up day. As with all major fundraising events, many months of preparations and planning take place prior to the actual sale day and could not be accomplished with the dedication and support from our volunteers.  HERE to download the Tree Sale Order Form

    Beautiful blue skies and warm temperatures greeted this year's Trout Sale participants on May 12th. This sale, sponsored by the Knox-Lincoln SWCD offers pond owners a way to acquire disease-free, certified Rainbow and Brook Trout purchased at a reasonable price, with the added convenience of a pick-up location that’s close to their pond.

    Area residents arrived at the Lincoln Recycling Center in Wiscasset at 10:00am and the USDA Service Center in Warren at 12:00pm to pick up their purchases and transport them to local private and public ponds. Many thanks to Chris & Mark from Dead River Hatchery, Gary from Mountain Springs Hatchery and Mike Thompson from Lincoln County Recycling for working together with the District to make this fundraising effort a success!
