SUMMARY:Warping the Earth Loom
DESCRIPTION:The Rockport Public Library will host the Maine Fibershed Festival from October 3 – 30 — a month-long exhibit complimented by special events focused on how Maine’s Soil-to-Soil fiber system weaves together a strong\, stable\, and connected community. \n\n\n\nEVERYTHING KICKS OFF on Friday\, Oct. 3\, at 1 p.m. Earth Loom creator Susan Barrett Merrill and historical storyteller Cathi Belcher invite the public to attend the warping of an Earth Loom in the library’s lower level. The demonstration will include the story of how the art of weaving mirrors community-building.

Attendees will also be able to take home a free mini cardboard loom. \n\n\n\nAbout the presenters: \n\n\n\nSusan Barrett Merrill is a fiber sculptor and creator of the Earth Loom. She is best known for her book and workshops related to The Art of Weaving a Life: A Framework to Expand and Strengthen Your Personal Vision and for her fiber masks\, many of which are housed in museums and private collections. \n\n\n\nCathi Belcher is an artist\, writer\, historical storyteller and the creator/organizer of “Harriet Lives!”\, an organization dedicated to racial and restorative justice and education\, giving interpretations of history as it really happened. Belcher is the official Curator of the Earth Loom at the Common Ground Fair\, and an Artist in Residence at Fiber College in Searsport\, Maine. \n\n\n\nPlease also join us at the Rockport Public Library for the Maine Fibershed Festival Day on Saturday\, Oct. 25\, with live demonstrations from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. and a keynote presentation by University of Maine soil scientist Dr. Alison King.  \n\n\n\nCLICK HERE to learn more.

SUMMARY:Conservation in Our Community: Celebrating CMLT
DESCRIPTION:The next program in the Rockport Public Library’s series in partnership with the Appalachian Mountain Club\, Maine Chapter\, will take place on Wednesday\, Oct. 22\, at 6 p.m. The program entitled “Conservation in Our Community” will highlight nearly 40 years of conservation work by the Coastal Mountains Land Trust (CMLT). The program is free and open to the public. Light refreshments will be served. \n\n\n\nCMLT Board President Jeff Davis and Senior Stewardship and Land Protection Manager Jack Shaida will share details on the work CMLT does across 16 towns\, from Rockport to Prospect\, and how conservation can be beneficial to communities in different ways. They’ll touch on land protection\, stewardship\, sustainability\, and their Learning Landscapes Program\, while answering overarching questions like: “What is a Land Trust?” and “How Do Conservation Easements Work?” \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout the presenters: \n\n\n\nJeff Davis\, Coastal Mountains Land Trust’s 15th Board President\, has been involved with the Land Trust for over a decade\, initially serving as a stewardship volunteer. Jeff spent his career in marketing and advertising\, serving as a partner and director at Sandelman & Associates for 25 years and President for 10 years. After more than 20 years of enjoying summers in the Midcoast\, Jeff and his wife\, Theresa\, retired full-time to Camden. His hobbies include kayaking\, hiking\, fishing\, mountain biking\, gardening and being a member of Uke’s Rock\, a ukulele group based in Rockland. He appreciates the efforts of the Land Trust and the impact projects like the Round the Mountain Trail can have on the community. \n\n\n\nJack Shaida\, Senior Stewardship and Land Protection Manager\, graduated from College of the Atlantic in 2018 with a Bachelor’s of Art in Human Ecology\, and joined the Land Trust soon after as a seasonal steward. He’s been with the Land Trust ever since in a variety of roles. Project highlights are designing the Land Trust’s 2020 conservation plan\, managing the Land Trust’s preserves and trails in Waldo County\, and creating the Mount Tuck Preserve and Trail in Stockton Springs. Jack and his partner Lisa recently moved to Camden\, where they enjoy gardening\, walking their dog\, hiking\, swimming\, and paddling on the Land Trust (and other conserved areas) throughout the region.
