As part of the preparatory efforts before the arrival of Hurricane Lee, a load of sand has been delivered to Eastern Shore Parking Lot. This sand is available for resident use to assist with any storm related issues you anticipate. Interested residents are encouraged to come by Eastern Shore Lot and take sand on an as-needed basis. We ask that you bring your own shovel and sand bags.

For those who do not have sandbags, we have a limited supply available at the Wells Maine Fire Department for pick up, located at 1563 Post Rd, Wells, ME 04090. To ensure that as many residences have access to the sandbags as possible, we ask that each residence limit themselves to a maximum of 6 bags.

We will continue to provide storm-related updates as our understanding of the storm track progresses.

Shoutout to our awesome Piping Plover monitors out patrolling the beaches. You can do your part by giving the newly hatched chicks lots of space, keeping pets off the beaches, and filling in any holes that you see dug.
Give our volunteers a big hello (and even a thank you!) if you do see them out walking the beaches.
