The Maine Conservation Corps’ newest addition, the “Shore Corps”, will be providing a demonstration of Best Management Practices for shoreline erosion.

Our mission is to deliver public outreach and education on affordable and accessible methods for landowners to prevent erosion and invest in “Green Infrastructure”. Subjects that will be covered in the demonstration include: live stakes, living shoreline protection, and erosion buffer garden plantings. There will be opportunities to get hands-on experience creating brush mattresses, living wattles, and learning to harvest and cultivate live stakes

Hayden Park is the first of many public places we will work to improve and use to educate people on how to combat erosion in their own communities.

Location:

Hayden Park, located off Route 27 in Belgrade, ME across the street from the Messalonskee Lake Public Hand Launch (44°26’34.6″N 69°49’54.5″W)
