From the Community

Volunteers for a search-and-rescue team will meet and participate in their first training at the Cundy's Harbor Community Hall at 10 a.m., Sunday, Nov. 28.

Amazing volunteers ensure Harpswell Aging at Home’s programs thrive, but those programs wouldn’t be possible without partnerships with other area organizations.

United Way of Mid Coast Maine is asking Midcoast residents to make a pledge or gift now to United Way's annual campaign.

When the Harpswell Invasive Plant Partnership was launched a few years ago, we consulted with the invasive plant specialists at the Maine Natural Areas Program. They recommended including the two invasive buckthorns on our list of 20 target plants for Harpswell.

Each year, the Mid Coast Hunger Prevention Program distributes bags of festive and nutritious Thanksgiving staples to individuals and families facing food insecurity.

Harpswell Heritage Land Trust’s Nature Day Camp ran uninterrupted for 22 years, until COVID-19 struck and the land trust made the difficult decision to cancel its camps in 2020.

Harpswell is justly proud of the spirit of volunteerism exhibited by its residents, both year-round and seasonal. Even so, it's sometimes hard to muster the needed "person power" to do what needs to be done.

The Mingo Club, of Bailey Island, presented its Mingo Grant to two high school seniors earlier this year.

Harpswell has over 200 miles of coastline. From the long stretch of Harpswell Neck to the wiggly ins and outs of Quahog Bay, there is great variety.

It’s interesting to think about the changes that have taken place since Capt. John Stover built his house near the point that would eventually bear his name. At that time, the slopes were covered in tall trees that yielded valuable wood for masts, lumber and firewood.
