Experience Hurricane Island first hand! Join our exclusive expedition to this unique island—once a thriving quarry industry abandoned literally overnight, now a center for science and leadership committed to such regenerative and sustainable practices as solar power, aquaculture, constructed wetlands, marine ecology, and scientific research focused on changes taking place in Penobscot Bay. We will meet at the Rockland ferry terminal for the 7:00 AM ferry to Vinalhaven, be picked up by private boat for a tour of the island with a picnic lunch (included in registration fee), arriving back in Rockland by 5:45 PM. Paid parking is available in the ferry terminal lot. Deadline to register (and submit dietary needs): May 23. Rain date: June 13.
