SUMMARY:Rusted Rooster Farm Grain Walk
DESCRIPTION:Sean and Sandra O’Donnell invite anyone interested in grain production on a walking tour of their grain fields followed by snacks and finger food. They are growing a wide variety of cereal grains (wheat\, oats\, barley\, flint corn\, and millet) and legumes (field peas\, soybeans\, and dry beans)\, and have special projects producing seed of improved Red Fife wheat and experimenting with small-scale grain drying and storage methods.  This is a great chance to discuss the nuts and bolts of organic grain production with the O’Donnells and others. Bring a snack to share. The event is free. \n  \nDirections to Rusted Rooster Farm (note – GPS won’t get you there): \nFrom Guilford: \nFollow Route 150 South 3 1/2 miles from Guilford center to Parkman center. Turn left \nonto the North Dexter Road. After 3 1/2 miles turn right onto the Bridge Road. After \n9/10 mile turn right onto the Smart Road. Go to the top of the hill and take your first \nright onto the Cates Road. Go 1/2 mile. Rusted Rooster Farm is located at 60 Cates \nRoad. \n  \nFrom Dover-Foxcroft: \nFollow Route 15 North for just over 6 1/2 miles towards Guilford. Turn left onto \nRoute 23 South and follow this for 6 8/10 miles. At the Wayside Theater in Dexter\, turn \nleft onto the Goff Road. Go 3/10 mile. Then turn left onto the Bridge Road. After \n9/10 mile turn right onto the Smart Road. Go to the top of the hill and take your first \nright onto the Cates Road. Go 1/2 mile. Rusted Rooster Farm is located at 60 Cates \nRoad. \n  \nFor more information\, contact Ellen Mallory at ellen.mallory@maine.edu or 581-2942. \n  \nAnd don’t forget next Tuesday’s Small Grain\, Cover Crop\, and Alternative Crop Twilight Meeting\, 6:00 to 8:00 PM\, July 19\, at the University of Maine Aroostook Research Farm.\nMeet at the UMaine Extension Presque Isle Office\, 57 Houlton Road\, Presque Isle \nFor more information see the UMaine Extension Grains & Oilseeds News and Events webpage. \n  \nNote: You is you wish to subscribe to the UMaine Extension Small Grains mailing list\, send an email to ellen.mallory@maine.edu.

SUMMARY:Public invited to university-industry research symposium at DMC
DESCRIPTION:Students\, researchers\, fishermen\, aquaculturists and other marine professionals will gather at the University of Maine’s marine laboratory\, Darling Marine Center (DMC)\, on Thursday\, Aug. 11 for the SEA Fellows Summer Science Symposium. \nThe SEA (Science for Economic Impact and Application) Fellows program is a new initiative developed by UMaine and the University of Maine at Machias (UMM) to catalyze university-industry partnerships. \nThe program supports undergraduate research related to Maine’s marine economy\, as well as the ecosystems and coastal communities that support it. It is funded by a National Science Foundation award to Maine EPSCoR at UMaine\, and in-kind support from DMC and the Downeast Institute\, UMM’s marine field station. \nUndergraduate students from around Maine who are conducting applied marine research projects will present their work as posters 2–5 p.m. in Brooke Hall\, on the lower DMC campus. \nThis event is open to the public and RSVPs are requested by Thursday\, Aug. 4 to kthornton@maine.edu or 207.563.8124.

SUMMARY:"Conserving Small Natural Features with Large Ecological Importance"
DESCRIPTION:Presented by:  Aram Calhoun and Mac Hunter\, Department of Wildlife\, Fisheries\, & Conservation Biology \nSmall Natural Features (SNFs) are analogous to keystone species in that they have ecological importance that is disproportionate to their small size. Consider coral heads in a sea grass dominated bay\, groundwater springs in a desert\, or the narrow riparian zones that line streams. The recognition and management of SNFs can be an efficient way to conserve biodiversity and ecosystem services. In particular\, while the small size of SNFs can engender threats (e.g.\, they are often overlooked and are relatively vulnerable to complete destruction)\, small size also leads to special conservation opportunities (e.g.\, integration with resource uses such as forestry or fisheries). In practice\, conservation of SNFs should be complementary to traditional\, larger-scale\, forms of conservation by engendering creative\, constructive efforts to conserve some seemingly minor features; features that have previously unknown or unappreciated roles critical to their broader ecosystems and to biodiversity. \n

SUMMARY:Researcher who found massive decline in blue mussels to speak at the Darling Marine Center
DESCRIPTION:Cascade Sorte\, a biologist who documented a massive decline in wild blue mussels in the Gulf of Maine\, will be at the University of Maine’s Darling Marine Center (DMC) in Walpole\, on Thursday\, October 6\, to present a “brown-bag” seminar. Her talk\, “Global change consequences and coping mechanisms in coastal marine systems\,” starts at noon. \nRecently\, Sorte’s research has received national media attention because of her findings that blue mussels have decreased by more than 60 percent over the last 40 years. Once covering two-thirds of the intertidal zone\, mussels now cover less than 15 percent. \n“It would be like losing a forest\,” Sorte\, an assistant professor at the University of California\, Irvine (UCI)\, told the Associated Press in September. \nBut the significance of her research goes beyond those alarming numbers. Climate change has already led to widespread changes in coastal marine systems\, according to Sorte. \nRecording how marine species have responded so far is a step toward understanding how they will—or won’t—survive in the future\, when changes in the coastal environment are predicted to accelerate. \n“There are several theories why the mussel decline happened—personally I think it is the result of green crabs—but before we can go very far into that line of research we need to know there is a widespread and distinct pattern\,” said Bob Steneck\, a University of Maine professor in the School of Marine Sciences\, who is based at the DMC. “Cascade Sorte’s work did just that. It will be the foundation for most future research in that area.” \nThe study\, which Sorte conducted with colleagues from UCI\, was recently published in the Global Change Biology journal. The presentation will be a return to Maine for Sorte\, who has been coming to the DMC as a visiting researcher since 2007. \nThe DMC is located at 193 Clarks Cove Road in Walpole\, and the talk will take place in Brooke Hall on the lower waterfront campus. Please bring your own brown bag lunch. \nThe University of Maine’s Darling Marine Center is the state’s hub for applied research for coastal fisheries\, aquaculture\, and environmental monitoring.
