Each year, we gather to celebrate our shared commitment to protecting the FHLH Conservation Area and watershed, reflect on the past year’s work, and look ahead to what’s next.

Join us on Saturday, October 25th from 4:00–7:00 PM at the Unitarian Universalist Church of Belfast for our Annual Meeting, followed by a fall supper. Come connect with neighbors, share ideas, and enjoy good food together.

We’ll also hear from Greg Biddinger (Belfast Bay Watershed Coalition), Jill Howell (Downeast Salmon Federation), and Jack Shaida (Coastal Mountains Land Trust) on ongoing efforts to conserve and integrate the Little River property into community life.

If you’re unable to join in person, a Zoom option will be available for the business portion of the meeting.
