Join Boothbay Region Land Trust, in partnership with Boothbay Clean Drinking Water Initiative, Maine Forest Service, Knox-Lincoln Soil & Water Conservation District, and Boothbay Region Water District, for a free, hands-on Live Staking Workshop at Oak Point Farm May 12 from 2 to 4 p.m. 

This interactive workshop will be led by Maine Forest Service District Forester Jared Gregory and will focus on the basics of live staking, a simple and effective streambank and shoreline restoration technique. Participants will learn how to harvest live stakes and take part in a planting demonstration, gaining practical skills to help stabilize shorelines and improve riparian habitat. 

Please come prepared to work outdoors. Wear weather-appropriate clothing and sturdy boots and bring work gloves and hand pruners or loppers if you have them (we will have extras available). 

Whether you’re a landowner, volunteer, or simply curious about conservation practices, this workshop offers a great opportunity to learn by doing and connecting with local conservation partners.
