Apply to Penobscot Bay Stewards

Every year, BBWC leads 20 or so curious and concerned folks across the region to learn about the Penobscot Bay watershed. We learn about why its health and vitality are important, where the threats are, and what can be done to protect it. This is a free program. We think it’s the best in the region.

Applications are due February 15, 2026. The program meets twice a week and runs May 5-June 11; there's a break for the Memorial Day holiday.
