Coastal economies in the Gulf of Maine are entering a phase of accelerated opportunity while undergoing a multitude of social and environmental changes.

During this lecture, a GMRI expert and a key collaborator on this initiative will present how we are strengthening the blue economy and stewarding working waterfronts by supporting workforce development, investment, and waterfront access. The presentation will be followed by a Q&A session.

Doors will open at 5:30 pm with complimentary refreshments available, and the program will begin at 6:00 pm. Free parking is available for all registered attendees in the lot adjacent to our building.

This event will feature our Chief Community Officer, Jonathan Labaree, and Graham McKay, Executive Director, Lowell's Boat Shop.

There are so many reasons to keep honeybees – to support pollinators, for the joy of observing them at work, and for the honey, propolis & beeswax that beekeepers can collect.

Join Master Beekeeper Karen Thurlow for three sessions to help you get ready for your first season keeping bees. She will prepare you for the earliest decisions you’ll have to make when starting out: what equipment to get (and where), how to put together a new hive and where to situate it, and what bees to order and in what “form” (package or nuc). Karen will also introduce you to the lives of bees themselves – what their roles and basic needs are – as well as what you need to look for when inspecting your hive(s), and what each of the four seasons as a beekeeper will require of you. 

*This is a 3 part webinar series with sessions taking place on: January 24, January 25, & January 31 from 3:00 – 4:30 p.m. All sessions will be recorded & the recordings shared with registrants. We will reserve February 1 as a snow date in case of power or internet outages.
