The Storm Window Project Saturday, January 9
Learn how to build low cost interior "storm windows" that are reusable year after year. The units increase the R-value of your existing windows, save energy and heating costs and are inexpensive and easy to make. 27 people attended and 43 windows were made. Most folks came from Waldo County but there were also participants from Somerset, Franklin, Lincoln and Kennebec counties! More photos here

Trails Work Day Saturday December 5
Eagle Scout Dylan Hartkopf led this project to install 250 feet of bog bridging on Connor Mill Trail. A corps of Unity College students and townies from UBR's Trails Group and Friends of Unity Wetlands also pitched in. Don Newell's chain saw helped the work go faster. More photos here.

Community Meal on Saturday, February 6
January 12, 2010 marked the 10 year anniversary of the tragic fire in downtown Unity which resulted in the loss of four community members: three very special young triplet boys and a local firefighter. Since that time, Triplet Park has been created with outdoor learning station, interpretive trail, beautiful flower gardens, and interactive food gardens for kids has sprung up. UBR will host a Community Meal from 4:30 to 6:30 at the Unity Community Center. All proceeds from the meal will be used to help support Triplet Park in 2010. Please join us.
