Three guys stopped into the town office: the pastor (Jerry Radley), the gentleman (Mr. Francavilla), and Randy. Sounds like we need a punchline! Truly, these three hung out and chewed the fat for quite some time. A trip to the St. George town office can turn into a visit!

It's Tuesday. Yes, the dump is open.

Speaking of the transfer station, we're going to start a new section: "Where does this go?" People who have been using the transfer station for years might know the right answers, but new residents may not. Or maybe you could use a refresher. Or maybe something--like this box here--might cause a bit of confusion. Because this box DOESN'T go in the cardboard recycling; it goes in the mixed paper. Frequently transfer station employees are pulling "craftboard" or "pasteboard" (the technical name for this material) out of the cardboard section and moving it to the mixed paper section. So please, corrugated cardboard only* in the cardboard section.

*This isn't 100% true. There's something else that goes in the cardboard recycling section, but we'll cover that in another post.

PSA: Town Roads will be posted beginning Monday February 23rd. Please plan accordingly. Roads can still be travelled when solidly frozen - air temperature is 32 degrees or below AND cracks in the road are absent of water.

Special permits may be issued in coordination with the town office. Please reach out to Town Manager (and Road Commissioner) Brandon Leppanen at 372-6363 if you need to obtain one.

We understand that this can pose major inconveniences to work but is critically important to the longevity of the road's surface, saving us significant tax dollars in the long run.

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!
