ReWilding the Presumpscot: A Conversation at Falmouth Memorial Library

  • Falmouth Memorial Library 5 Lunt Road Falmouth, ME, 04105 United States (map)

In the Summer of 2024, a dam malfunction caused the water in Dundee Pond (Windham) to drain, offering a short-lived glimpse of what the Presumpscot River looked like before industrialization. It showed the river below damned waters, giving new insight into that which once flowed & the human history that was lost.

Join us for a conversation about the lost wildness of this ancient ‘river of many falls’. Though the dam has been repaired & the rushing waters again silenced, we can vividly remember its breath and know what the river was. We can understand the loss, and what it can be again. New visions toward an old river have been born. Free, no advance registration needed! All ages.
