<strong>PCSWCD Working Through COVID: Impacts & Updates</strong><br /><br />I started my March COVID Update article with “let’s take a moment to breathe together” and I would say that is needed this Fall as well! It has been a difficult time and we have ALL been a part of major changes in our professional and personal lives. We want to thank you all for your continued support. As we closed our office doors to the public, postponed events, put safety guidelines in place and made adjustment after adjustment, you stood by us, met us with understanding and we appreciate that.<br /><br />Despite the adjustments and with new standard operating procedures in place, the Piscataquis County Soil and Water Conservation District has experienced a number of successes in the 2020 events season. All planned events that exceeded in-person limits or had elements that could not be worked with, will be offered in 2021. The wonderful presenters that work with us were happy to offer programming for us in the coming year and we look forward to working with them and seeing all of you at these events. We also have been working with presenters to offer multiple sessions of outdoor events to both allow for social distancing and accommodate the overwhelming demand for programming. We were able meet the need AND do so safely - that’s a win, win! We offered three outdoor educational programs this summer - Rotational Grazing with Wendy Russell of Widdershins Farm, Wild Edible Foraging with Tom Seymour and Chainsaw Safety for Women. Each of these events reached capacity and our participants respectfully followed safety guidelines.<br /><br />Another great success story from Spring and Summer 2020 has been the growth of the LakeSmart program. As we postponed events, we created room to expand LakeSmart and doubled the number of evaluations done in 2019. The program is an evaluation program that helps waterfront property owners address erosion issues on their properties. The evaluations were offered safely and were a great way to make progress on the protection of our natural resources. After all, lakes, ponds and water resources are vitally important!<br /><br />Our District received support through the Keep Maine Healthy Grant via the Town of Dover-Foxcroft and was able to install hand sanitizer pumps at both of our public lands. Additionally, we purchased portable hand-washing stations, making all outdoor events places where participants can wash their hands and keep themselves and others safe.<br /><br />These successes would not have been possible without the support received from participants, supporters and our wonderful presenters. Thank you for working with us! As we approach the remainder of 2020 and look forward to 2021, we are ready to continue to be creative, work collaboratively with all of you and offer quality, in-demand programming. We will continue to promote natural resource conservation in every way possible.<br /><br />Please reach out to us and let us know what you would like to see for programming in 2021. Additionally, if you have questions about anything we are working on, how we could possibly work together, we are all ears!<br /><br />Thank you!<br /><br /><em>Kacey Weber, Educational Coordinator, Piscataquis County Soil and Water Conservation District</em>

<strong>WELCOME</strong><br /><br />Hello to everyone in the Piscataquis Valley community. I’m excited to begin my formal leadership journey with such a highly competent, caring team in an area that recognizes the key role a strong, vibrant adult education program plays in building community. Back in 2006, I moved to Maine and found where I belong as well as my true calling: a career in adult education that inspires me every day. As the new Director of PVAEC, I bring my passion and dedication to lifelong learning<br />along with an intense commitment to continuing the incredible work that has made this program strong. My leadership style is based on recognizing strengths and forming trusting relationships to inspire staff and students to reach their goals.<br /><br />I love challenges and believe there can be no real progress without a few bumps along the way. This is especially true as we navigate the ever changing world during the COVID-19 pandemic. The type of widespread outreach I had planned to help me become familiar with the communities we serve has had to be delayed, but I am here and would love to hear from you.<br /><br />We are planning to offer some enrichment courses in a space that meets all current CDC guidelines, and we are committed to staying open as long as we can do so safely. The PVAEC Team is serving students by appointment, on a one to one basis. We welcome all learners, new and returning. Immersing yourself in achieving your educational goals is a great way to keep a positive outlook on life during these challenging times. Imagine the progress you could make while eagerly awaiting a COVID-19 vaccine and a return to normal!<br /><br />Warmly,<br />Carolyn
<strong>We Are COVID CONSCIOUS</strong><br /><br />This fall, PVAEC staff will be screening academic and enrichment students and guests at the door for COVID symptoms. Your temperature will be checked and you will be required to wear a face covering in all common areas of our facilities. Masks will be required in classrooms, but there will be short mask breaks. If you are feeling unwell on the day of your class or appointment, we ask that you please stay home. Remote/ distance learning and pick-up/drop off options will remain available for all academic students in Dexter, Dover, Guilford and Milo. Our top priority is the health and safety of our students and community. Please have patience as we navigate through these new challenges and uncertainties together.
<strong>ENRICHMENT</strong><br /><br />To our loyal Enrichment students: <span style="text-decoration:underline;"><strong><em>We miss you!</em></strong></span> We intend to hold the following classes in the gym at PHEC in Dover this fall. Classes will be set up for physical distancing with limited spaces available, and masks will be required. If you prepaid for a Spring 2020 class that did not run, we can off er you a refund, or credit towards a Fall 2020 or future class. Sorry, we are unable to refund the $1.99 fees for online payments. If you would like a refund, please contact us before November 30, 2020. Class credit will not expire. You will notice that classes are now pay-per-session. Each week when you arrive for class, you will be screened by PVAEC staff for COVID symptoms and pay for that day/ night’s class. Please plan on arriving 15-30 minutes early for your class.<br /><br /><span style="text-decoration:underline;"><strong><em>Your safety is our top priority so please understand that these classes are subject to being postponed and/or canceled.<br /><br /></em></strong></span>Though the world may be changing, <span style="text-decoration:underline;"><em><strong>we are still here!</strong></em></span> If you have any questions or concerns, please contact us at 207-564-6525 or email hroberts@ pvaec.org. Our hope is to be back to our full schedule in 2021. <br /><br />- Your PVAEC Team
