Town Of St. George

The Parks an Recreation Department is more than youth sports. Senior lunch happens once a month, and local seniors get together for camaraderie and (this month at least!) and American chop suey. The seniors also participate in other activities, like sunset boat cruises and bus trips. There's always room, so you're welcome to join in the fun.

Did you know that "managing invasive pests requires ongoing work, year after year. And for the Browntail Moth, this time of year is a great time to work on limiting its spread across the state. That’s because it’s easy to spot their winter nests in the higher parts of tree branches." The St. George Conservation Commission is VERY active. This info on browntail moth came from their most recent newsletter article. To find out more, see the town's website: https://www.stgeorgemaine.com/page/conservation-commission
