Steve Miller, Isleboro Island Trust, to speak on the industrial development of Sears Island

We are honored to have Steve as our speaker for June's meeting, and look forward to learning about the Island Trust's concerns regarding the current attempt to develop a major manufacturing, assembling and launching facility on Sears Island, even though MDOT consultants say it can be built at Mack Point.

Steve Miller is one of Islesboro Islands Trust’s (IIT) founders. In 1985 he became Executive Director of the land trust, where he continues to provide leadership in IIT conservation, environmental education, and advocacy, leavened on occasion with comic relief. Long involved in issues that affect Penobscot Bay, Steve served on the executive committees of the Penobscot Bay Alliance and Pen Bay Network, and as the coordinator of the Penobscot Watershed Coalition. He is a life-long resident of Maine and acknowledged curmudgeon. When not engaged in IIT work, he fashions walking sticks and "The Islesboro Bench" as Greyfeather Woodcraft, captures scenic Islesboro photographs, and explores the island’s beaches and woodlands.
