This is the time of year to check for these invasives. Although our peninsula seems to be clear of these pests, we want to make sure none are visiting us yet!
The Maine Forest Service has put out a very helpful post that shows you how to check for these nests and what to do if you find one, just click on the link below. And, if you have any questions, please contact the St George Conservation Commission at stgcc@stgeorgemaine.com

Island Institute Fellow Erin Dent was featured in their 2025 impact report. Erin has been helping/spearheading many projects here in St. George, and has been a great asset to the town. Select Board Chair Jane Conrad said "We have been so fortunate to have Erin working with us an Island Institute Fellow." A short video was produced as well, and you can see it here: https://youtu.be/6KC-FqwCXuc?si=e5NCksRL7QqXSl99 . Great job Erin!

In cold weather, we Mainers get a hankerin' for hefty comfort food. These are all part of small town life. Maybe it's Aunt Kim's French onion soup. Mom's biscuits. Pappy's bean-hole beans. Share with us some good comfort food you love, and give us the story of why you love it.
The budget committee is working on the next fiscal year's budget and has two vacant seats for alternates. Interested in serving? We can put you in touch with the chairperson.
