Executive Committee. Board members provide oversight and support to staff, as well as help promoting programs.<\/p>\n<p>Knox-Lincoln Extension is one of the most active in the state providing a broad range of programs: 4-H youth development, assistance to commercial farmers and home gardeners, and in-home education for new parents.<\/p>\n<p>Executive Committee members are asked to attend four two-hour meetings a year focusing on county programming, building maintenance, and finances. Members can certainly follow their interests and become more involved in any of the county programs.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re interested in UMaine Extension Programs and giving back to your community, serving on the Executive Committee is a great place to be!

This is my second year as President of the Knox-Lincoln Cooperative Extension Association Executive Committee (KLCEA-EC). It has been an honor and a pleasure to work with all the staff, board members and volunteers involved with Knox-Lincoln Cooperative Extension (KLCE). As a farmer and educator at Maine Coast Heritage Trust\u2019s Erickson Fields Preserve in Rockport, I deeply value the work of Extension. I get to see the benefits of the services offered by Extension daily, through our collaborations with Kids Can Grow, Master Gardener volunteers, and outreach with local farmers.<\/p>\n<p>My wife and I have personally benefited from the Maine Families program that supports infants and their families. As new parents, we have found the Maine Families staff to be a huge help as we, like so many parents, are just figuring it out with each changing day. I am continually impressed by the breadth and depth of Extension\u2019s work locally, throughout Maine, and beyond. From early childhood support to climate change initiatives, technical support for home gardeners and commercial farmers, Master Gardner volunteer programs, composting expertise at the state, national, and international level, and countless programs for local youth at Blueberry Cove Camp, local 4-H clubs, and other collaborating sites, KLCE never ceases to amaze me.<\/p>\n<p>Thank you to all the staff, KLCEA-EC members, volunteers, and program participants who make Extension what it is: a community-based program that serves the greater good. Thank you to the University of Maine, and the Knox and Lincoln Counties\u2019 tax funding that supports the facility and staff. Special thanks to two recent retirees from the KLCE office: Esperanza Stancioff, an Extension Professor and Climate Change Lead, and Cindi Staples, Administrative Specialist for the Parent Education Program and KL Extension office. Thank you to Cindi and Esperanza for your years of dedicated service to many local communities.<\/p>\n<p>The KLCEA-EC oversees the budget, facility, vision, and program direction of KLCE. We are a volunteer committee always seeking new members who share a vested interest in the community well-being of Knox and Lincoln Counties. If you are interested in joining the EC or being involved in any capacity, please contact our office for more information.<\/p>\n<p>Please enjoy this report and you may be as amazed as I am at all the great work going on at Knox-Lincoln Cooperative Extension.<\/p>\n<p>Sincerely,<br \/>\nAaron Englander<br \/>\nKLCEA Executive Committee President<br \/>\nMaine Coast Heritage Trust<br \/>\nErickson Fields Farm and Program Manager<br \/>\nRockport, Maine<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3><strong><a id=\"financial\"><\/a>UMaine Extension Knox-Lincoln Counties Financial Resources<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>The graph below illustrates the financial resources for programs offered, supported and managed from the Knox &amp; Lincoln Counties office.

Storymaps (web-based visual resources developed through a partnership with Bowdoin and UMaine Machias students) serve as tools to understand sea-level rise and living shorelines.
