Slow Down and Stay Alert for Arrowsic Wildlife

Autumn is here and animals are shifting their foraging habits and getting ready for winter. This change in behavior often brings Arrowsic’s wildlife in close proximity to roads. Perhaps you, too, have noticed a flock of turkey pecking away along the shoulder, or witnessed a deer burst out of the brush and dash across the road? To keep you and the island’s animal life safe, the Conservation Commission once again kindly asks you to slow down and look out for animals that are just trying to get to the other side. Thank you!

Now leaving a Swap Barn near you… 

On Saturday, October 3, the Arrowsic Recycling and Solid Waste Committee will be clearing out the Swap Barn of all items that have been waiting a year (or more) to be reused or repurposed. On offer at the moment is everything from desk lamps to dog crates, picture frames to pickle crocks, coffee makers to ice cream makers, jigsaw puzzles galore, and even a desktop Zen sand garden, complete with tiny rake. If you’ve had your eye on a particular treasure, now may be your last chance to snag it, so come on by! And remember, new goods arrive at the barn every week it’s open: 11:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. on the Saturdays following recycling pickup, year-round.

OTHER NEWSRte. 127 Flooding

NOAA’s Office for Coastal Management is funding a comprehensive engineering and design study to improve coastal flood resilience along Route 127 in Arrowsic, Maine. The project is being executed via NOAA’s Coastal Geospatial Services Contract by prime contractor Woolpert and subcontractor Inter-Fluve.Route 127 serves as the sole overland connection linking the mainland to the island communities of Arrowsic and Georgetown. Frequent coastal flooding during storm events and high tides routinely submerged sections of the highway, cutting off emergency services and isolating residents. To address this critical vulnerability, the Maine Department of Transportation is evaluating options to raise low-lying sections of the road and replace two restrictive tidal crossings at Fisher Eddy and between Field Road and Sasanoa Road. Beyond safeguarding transportation infrastructure, NOAA’s engineering study will support long-term ecological restoration goals. By designing updated bridges and culverts that restore natural tidal flow, the study aims to ensure surrounding saltmarsh habitats in the Kennebec Estuary can successfully migrate inland in the future.The effort is driven by a broad coalition of federal, state, and local partners beyond NOAA’s Office for Coastal Management, including the Maine Department of Transportation, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, the Kennebec Estuary Land Trust, and our organization. The project team will begin collecting water level and marsh elevation data in the coming weeks. Final engineering analyses and flood modeling reports are scheduled for completion by December 31, 2026.For more information about the process or to get involved, contact the Arrowsic-Georgetown Rt 127 Construction Oversight Committee Chairs, Claire Enterline (claire.enterline@gmail.com) and Dave Berndtson (dberndtson@gmail.com).

Rabid Raccoon Found in Georgetown

From Sam Malsch, Arrowsic Animal Control Officer:

I’m sharing this Town of Georgetown post for information and awareness. This does not mean every raccoon in the area is also a concern.

Some things to know:
⭐️ While raccoons are most often active at night, it’s not out of their normal behavior to also be active during daytime hours. Some reasons a raccoon might be awake during the day: 
(1) to forage for food, particularly in spring and summer if they’re caring for young
(2) if they have high night-time competition for food in the area; 
(3) seeking water (particularly in this drought); 
(4) or even if they just wake up hungry.

⛔️Abnormal behaviors to look for are things like:
(1) loss of coordination
(2) looking wobbly, 
(3) difficulty breathing or swallowing, 
(4) excess salivation, 
or other signs like 
(5) excitability, 
(6) self-mutilation, 
(7) lack of fear, or 
(8) excessive aggression. 

If you’re not seeing the abnormal behaviors above, then it’s likely you’re looking at a healthy raccoon. 

⚠️ It’s important to make sure your pets are vaccinated for rabies.⚠️

⭐️ Things you can do to discourage raccoons and other wildlife from coming into your yard: 
(1) remove any food or water sources,
(2) secure trash bins, 
(3) bring pet food inside at night, 
(4) stop feeding the birds in your yard. 

If you do still have concerns with a healthy raccoon or other healthy wildlife, the Maine Game Wardens handle concerns with wild animals. You can call their Regional Communication Center (in Augusta) at 1-800-452-4664.

This Maine Fish & Wildlife website also has more information on rabies if you’re interested:

The sale of the town-owned broadband system continues to inch forward. Terms are agreed, and a contract is being hammered out by the two parties’ lawyers. We still expect to close before the end of the year.

Notes from Packard Landing and the Waterfront Access Management Committee

  • Community Potluck Gathering: We will host a potluck gathering at Packard’s Landing on Sunday, September 6th. The time is still to be determined. All residents, friends, and family are welcome to attend.
  • Special Thanks to Mark Jorgensen: We would like to acknowledge and thank Mark Jorgensen for donating and installing three beautiful granite benches at Packard’s Landing. They add a wonderful and much-needed touch to the property.
  • Colored Slate Available: We found approximately 25 to 30 odd-sized pieces of colored slate on the property that are available to Arrowsic residents. Due to the limited quantity, interested residents should contact me at arrowsica@gmail.com with their request. We will do our best to share what we have with as many residents as possible.
