To encourage wise land use and maintain the economic base of industries that use the soil and water of Kennebec County while improving the quality of waters in the county.
We are planning two workshops this fall. A live stake workshop and an invasive plant workshop. More information will be available soon!
KCSWCD and 30 Mile River Watershed Association recently co-hosted the final live staking workshop of the spring season with the Maine Forest Service at the Minnehonk Boat Launch in Mt. Vernon. Participants learned live staking techniques, invasive species identification and removal, and helped install live stakes on site.
A live staking workshop at the 7 Lakes Homestead Property, led by District Forester Jared Gregory with the Maine Forest Service, demonstrated best practices for erosion control, including proper installation, species selection, and site-specific considerations.
