South Thomaston, Maine - Members and friends of the Georges River Land Trust are invited to participate in the Annual Celebration and Business Meeting to take place on Tuesday, September 9, beginning at 3 pm at the Finnish Church, 172 St. George Rd, South Thomaston. The public is warmly invited to come out and enjoy camaraderie, meet the Land Trust staff and Board members, and learn about conservation in the St. George River watershed.

At 4:00 pm, guests will enjoy shared food and drinks followed by presentations by historians Art Jura and Jim Skoglund who will shed light on the early settlers of the region, including the Finnish community.
Participants are asked to bring an appetizer or dessert to share, and to RSVP to the Land Trust at (207) 594-5166.
Organized in 1987, the Georges River Land Trust works to conserve the ecosystems and traditional heritage of the Georges River watershed region through permanent land protection, stewardship, education and outdoor experiences. The watershed extends from Montville in the north to Port Clyde and Cushing in the south and includes streams, ponds, lakes, wetlands, farms, hills, mountains, blueberry barrens and forest, as well as a rich tidal estuary of salt marsh, clamflats and productive fishing grounds.
