We’re sorry to announce the postponement of the Rachel Carson program originally scheduled for May 6, 2011 at the Wells Reserve at Laudholm. It will be rescheduled for the 2011-12 school year; details will be posted when they are available.
The program will include:

Maine is a borderland state along the longest border in the world, between the United States and Canada. Living on the border influences people’s lifestyles and perspectives, and arguably contributes to a very special experience. Join us for a short lecture by Scott See, Libra Professor of History at University of Maine, followed by an opportunity for reading and reflective discussion with Professor See and Professor Kathryn Olmstead on the history and contemporary issues of the border. This program is free and open to the public.
CEUs will be available for K-12 teachers and Adult Education instructors. Please bring a check made out to USM. The cost is $20 for K-12 teachers and Adult Education instructors.
Join us on May 6, 2011 at Wells Reserve at Laudholm in Wells to explore the
enduring impact of Rachel Carson’s work on the modern environmental movement.
Pre-registration is now closed. You may register at the door.
For more information, or a complete program, please email Martina Duncan.
