  • KENNEBEC SALMON RESTORATION: Innovation to Improve the Odds
    FALL/ WINTER 2015 THE NEWSLETTER OF MAINE RIVERS KENNEBEC SALMON RESTORATION: Innovation to Improve the Odds Walking thigh-deep into a cold stream in January in Maine? The idea takes a little getting used to, but Paul Christman doesn’t have a hard time finding volunteers to do just that to help with salmon egg planting. Christman is a scientist with Maine Department of Marine Resource. His work, patterned on similar efforts in Alaska, involves taking fertilized salmon eggs from a hatchery and planting them directly into the cold gravel of the best stream habitat throughout the Sandy River, a Kennebec tributary northwest of Waterville. Yes, egg planting takes place in the winter. For Maine Rivers board member Sam Day plants salmon eggs in a tributary of the Sandy River more than a decade Paul has brought staff and water, Paul and crews mimic what female salmon volunteers out on snowshoes and ATVs, and with do: Create a nest or “redd” in the gravel of a river waders and neoprene gloves for this remarkable or stream where she plants her eggs in the fall, undertaking. Finding stretches of open stream continued on page 2 PROGRESS TO UNDERSTAND THE HEALTH OF THE ST. JOHN RIVER The waters of the St. John River flow from their headwaters in Maine to the Bay of Fundy, and for many miles serve as the boundary between Maine and Quebec. Waters of the St. John also flow over the Mactaquac Dam, erected in 1968, which currently produces a substantial amount of power for New Brunswick. Efforts are underway now to evaluate the future of the Mactaquac Dam because its mechanical structure is expected to reach the end of its service life by 2030 due to problems with the concrete portions of the dam’s station.

  • 2001 Annual Report Maine Coast Heritage Trust Works
    2001 Annual Report Maine Coast Heritage Trust works to conserve coastal and other lands that define Maine’s distinct landscape, protect its environment, sustain its outdoor traditions and promote the well-being of its people. Since 1970, MCHT has helped to protect permanently more than 111,000 acres including valuable wildlife habitat, farm and forest land and 275 entire coastal islands. MCHT provides conservation services to landowners, local land trusts, government agencies and communities throughout Maine. As a membership organization, MCHT is supported by individuals committed to protecting Maine’s natural beauty and resources. The Trust invites your support and involvement. On the cover: Tinker Island, Blue Hill © Sara Gray 2001 Annual Report CHRIS HAMILTON North Haven PRESIDENT’S AND CHAIRMAN’S MESSAGE In August 2001, we announced our Campaign for the Coast – a $100 million campaign that seeks to preserve the best of Maine’s coast for generations to come. Recognizing the threats posed by increasing development, we committed to accelerating our work to conserve coastal islands and archipelagos, prominent hills and meadows, shore access, community open space and intact landscape features. Campaign Chairman Richard Rockefeller inspired us to launch this ambitious effort and has stood at the helm ever since. He leads by example – guiding us with keen perception, good humor and unflagging energy. The Campaign’s success to date is due – in no small part – to his integral involvement. Already the Campaign for the Coast has expanded the horizon of land conservation in Maine, enabling protection of lands that could never before have been preserved. Among the 36 projects completed in 2001 are some of the most innovative and complex ones in MCHT’s history.

Kennebunk, Maine HISTORY by Joyce Butler, Town Historian 1996 The name Kennebunk means "long cut bank," probably in reference to Great Hill at the mouth of the Mousam River, which would have been an important landmark to native Americans coming along the coast in their ocean-going canoes.1 The first Europeans to visit the shores of southern Maine probably were sixteenth-century fishermen. Although it is well known that these fishing parties put ashore along the coast of Maine, whether any landed on Kennebunk's beaches is not part of the present historical record. At that time the native population followed a pattern of seasonal migration, living near the coast during the warmer months of the year, moving inland during the colder months. The presence of native Americans in Kennebunk was even then an ancient tradition. Because of recent archaeological excavations it is known that 11,000 years ago PaleoIndian hunters traveled seasonally to the Kennebunk Plains from throughout the Northeast to trap and kill bison and caribou.
