Harpswell Conservation Commission

To raise awareness of what landowners can and can't do within the 250-foot shoreland zone, and especially within the 75-foot buffer from the "highest astronomical tide line," the Harpswell Conservation Commission will publish "The Power of Plants," a series of informational articles by local arborists, experts in shoreline stabilization and other contractors.

Conserving water by harnessing your landscape is the topic of "The Power of Plants," the third program in the WaterWise series offered by the Harpswell Conservation Commission.

The Harpswell Conservation Commission will hold a public workshop about water conservation, "Be Water Wiser: Preserving Harpswell's Water Supply," at 6 p.m., Wednesday, Oct. 30, at Harpswell Community School.

Harpswell's Conservation Commission is organizing a series of presentations, "Fractured Bedrock: Understanding Harpswell's Water Supply," to help us understand where we get our water, how it gets there, and how we tap into it.
