Penobscot Bay Stewards Program 2023

In 2023 Penobscot Bay Stewards Program will host a new cohort of 20 promising environmental volunteers this Spring. Many participants have taken what they learned in the Program and have made significant contributions to the health of the Penobscot Bay watershed region. 

Alumni organized the Belfast Bay Watershed Coalition almost 20 years ago and successfully led the “Ban the Bag” campaign that prohibited the use of single use plastic bags in Belfast. They organized and have run weekly water quality monitoring in the bay for three years, and participate in the Maine Coastal Observing Alliance.

The program has been modified to comply with Covid guidelines. As before, participants will learn about the diversity of marine and terrestrial ecosystems and the factors that affect their health and sustainability, interact with the organizations and individuals active in working to improve the quality of the watershed, and learn how they can become involved in those efforts.
