St. George River watershed land use history: reporting by Colby College intern Anna Weber
This summer, Colby College intern Anna Weber supported youth programs, welcomed visitors to the Langlais Art Preserve's barn, and created outreach tools like our scavenger hunt. The land trust was fortunate to extend Anna's internship through Colby College's Buck Lab this fall. From her campus in Waterville, Anna utilized Colby's special collections and library resources to research land use history on the St. George River watershed. Her research is presented here in three regions of the watershed: northern, central, and the Cushing peninsula.
Anna wrote of her research: "The diverse, storied lands and rivers of Maine are not merely static beings of the present day. They are living bodies whose compositions have been determined by the ways in which they were cultivated, developed, stewarded, and naturally changed over thousands of years of existence. In particular, the Cushing peninsula of Knox county, Midcoast Maine, holds a rich and complex history whose exploration is essential to understanding the current state of this area today."
Anna's research explores Wabanaki history in the watershed, geology, agriculture, wildlife, development, and uses of the St. George River. The reports, found below, include rich primary sources.
We are so grateful to Colby College and the Buck Lab for providing the resources and funding for Anna's internship. We look forward to uplifting Anna's research further as we update our website, kiosks, and preserve signage.

Really helpful post! I liked that you covered the smaller details instead of just repeating the major GTA 6 news. There's quite a bit to think about before launch, and this gives players a better idea of what to expect. I've also come across discussions about buy gta6 boosting, though I'll wait until the game is out to see whether it's something worth considering.
This was a helpful breakdown, especially the details that are easy to miss when following GTA 6 news. With launch getting closer, it's useful to have a clearer idea of what to expect. I've also been comparing a few options to buy gta6 account, so taking time to check the details and understand what's available makes sense before making a decision.
What a fascinating look at the St. George River watershed! Considering its land use history, it reminds me of how browser games allow us to explore and manage resources thoughtfully—skills we could apply to conserving our natural environments too!

This is such an interesting historical overview of the St. George River watershed! I’m curious—how do current land use practices impact water quality in the area? Also, speaking of puzzles, did anyone find the wordle hint today particularly tricky?
