So, this is why I'm growing plants that are Native to #NorthAmerica, but not #Maine. We may not be able to rely on predictable weather and seasons because of #ClimateChange, so we need to think about growing species that can deal with those changes.
#US - #ClimateSmart #NativePlants for the #Northeast
"Welcome to Climate-Smart Native Plant Tools (C-SNaP Tools)
This website aims to serve #RestorationEcologists, landscape professionals, and #HomeGardeners interested in identifying and locating plants that support #ecosystem function and are likely to persist with #ClimateChange. Our tools focus on the #NortheasternUS from #Kentucky to #Maine with informational resources that may be relevant more broadly. Our work is led by members of the Spatial Ecology Lab at the University of Massachusetts Amherst in collaboration with the Northeast Regional Invasive Species & Climate Change Network with support from the USGS Northeast #ClimateAdaptation Science Center.
Why native plants?
Native plants, defined as species historically found growing without human intervention in a given location, provide substantial ecological benefits including increasing the abundance of native #birds and #pollinators (learn more here and here). Native plants are also far less likely to cause ecological harm than species introduced from other continents.
Why climate-smart?
On their own, native species are moving much too slowly to 'keep up' with the rapid pace of climate change (learn more). To build #EcologicalResilience to climate change, ecologists have suggested use of #WarmAdaptedGenotypes over local genotypes and planting warm-adapted plants beyond the margins of their historical ranges."

So, there is some of this on our land, unfortunately. I plan on cutting it back and pulling it up, but I also realize the local birds have gotten used to eating the berries (however, the berries aren't very nutritious). I'll look to try and replace the plants with #CanadaHoneysuckle, which is native, and not invasive -- and expanding our little food forest for the local wildlife.
#Maine #InvasivePlant Profile: #MorrowsHoneysuckle
By Sophia Cameron, Invasive Plant Management Intern and Jesse Wheeler, Vegetation Program Manager
"Morrow’s Honeysuckle (Lonicera morrowii) is an invasive plant species managed at Acadia National Park. It is often grouped with other species of invasive honeysuckles (L. tatarica, L. x bella), often called #ExoticBushHoneysuckles since they are difficult to distinguish from one another. They are deciduous shrubs found throughout the park, characterized by oppositely branched stems, and opposite, simple leaves. They produce yellow, white, and sometimes pink flowers, as well as round, red, and orange berries.
"The berries can be used to distinguish these invasive honeysuckles from native honeysuckle species. For example, the flowers of the #NativeHoneysuckle, L. canadensis, are yellow or green, and always downturned. They grow in pairs, as do their red fruits. L. morrowii’s flowers are upturned and grow individually from one another. These shrubs can grow up to approximately ten feet tall, with many stems growing from a single stump. The bark is shaggy on older stems and the stem center (pith) is hollow.
Plant Origin
"#ShrubbyHoneysuckles are originally from Asia, specifically Japan. The first recorded collection and introduction into the U.S. occurred in 1852 by Dr. James Morrow, for which Morrow’s Honeysuckle is named. Honeysuckles were imported as decorative species used in gardens, for erosion prevention, and as windbreaks. These are also the reasons why they are so successful as an invasive species.
Why is it Invasive?
"They do well in almost every soil type, and can develop complex root systems fairly quickly, making them difficult to remove, or be damaged by storms. Their bright berries are also extremely attractive to native wildlife—particularly birds—although the fruit is not nutritionally valuable to them. Birds help spread the seeds over long distances.
"Honeysuckles have been shown to cause a loss in plant diversity, especially herbaceous species, low growing shrubs, and tree seedlings, primarily by blocking out sunlight. However, some studies have led researchers to believe that honeysuckle may release a toxin into the soil from their roots that would harm surrounding vegetation, preventing their growth."

So, I came across some of this near the #CommunityGarden, and identified it using #FloraApp as #SpreadingDogbane. Even though it's toxic (all plant parts, so handle with care), it is a #Maine #NativePlant and a favorite of #MonarchButterflies. I just don't want it growing in my community garden plot!
"Spreading dogbane
Scientific name: Apocynum androsaemifolium L.
Common name(s): spreading dogbane, fly-trap dogbane, #bitterroot
Description:
-perennial
-wide spread branching red stems
-can reach up to 2 feet tall
-leaves are opposite
-bell shaped flowers
-spreads through patches of rhizomes
-contains a milky white sap that is toxic to humans
-generally flowers June through August in ME
Reddish stems 1′-4′ tall grow from horizontal rootstocks, branches smooth and spreading. Oval leaves opposite, 2″-4″ long and 1″-2.5″ wide, often drooping on short stalks. Flowers pinkish, bell-shaped and about 1/4″ wide, seed pods 4″ long and narrow, can be confused with bush honeysuckle. All parts exude white liquid when broken.
-may be confused with A. cannabinum
Habitat:
-disturbed areas
-road sides
-waste areas
Agriculture:
-produces nectar as an important food source
-attracts monarch butterflies
Natural History:
-native to North America
-genus “Apocynum” means “away from dog”
-its tough fibers were used to make threads and cords by #NativeAmericans
-the root contains cymarin, a cardiac stimulant"

So, one of the staple of my radio listening when I first moved to #Maine was #EasternSands, hosted by #JackieNice. Not only was Jackie an amazing DJ (who introduced folks to music from the #MiddleEast and around the world, she was known for her generosity and kindness. She and her sister Deidre owned Silly's Restaurant -- a #PortlandME jewel -- and often fed homeless folks and those who couldn't afford a meal. Hail and farewell to someone who knew what #Community was all about!
Remembering Jackie Nice
"It is with great sadness that we share the news that longtime #WMPG volunteer and programmer Jackie Nice passed away this past week.
"For more than 25 years, Jackie welcomed listeners every Sunday afternoon as the beloved host of Eastern Sands Radio. Her program introduced audiences to music and cultures from around the world, reflecting her belief that sharing music could help make the world a more understanding and compassionate place.
"As fellow WMPG volunteer Dave Wade so beautifully wrote, Jackie 'opened our ears and minds to all kinds of music from around the world with a goal to make it a better place to live.'
"Jackie’s passion for community radio never faded. She continued hosting her program well into her 80s, sharing her warmth, curiosity, and love of music with generations of listeners. She passed away on Monday, just one month shy of her 90th birthday.
"For many years Jackie was a cherished part of WMPG’s Sunday afternoons and an inspiration to volunteers and listeners alike. Her voice, her spirit, and the music she shared will be deeply missed.
"Our thoughts are with Jackie’s family, friends, and the many listeners whose lives she touched.
Thank you, Jackie, for the music, the memories, and your many years of service to the WMPG community. You will be greatly missed."

The next #HomelessVeterans #MobileStandDown event is August 19 in #BangorME
How a mobile outreach program connects Maine's homeless veterans to resources
By Jacob Murphy , July 23, 2026
"Driving past Veterans Memorial Park in Lewiston, you may have noticed a large, inflatable eagle that wasn't there before. That's one of the ways organizers are hoping to grab the attention of veterans in the community.
"The Homeless Veterans Mobile Stand Down is a yearly tradition in Maine put together by the Maine Bureau of Veterans' Services in partnership with the U.S. Dept. of Veterans Affairs. Every year it makes stops in multiple cities and towns to connect homeless veterans with resources.
" 'Veterans, like anyone else, can fall across hard times,' said Ryan Lorrain, with the Maine Bureau of Veterans' Services. 'We want to make sure that we're there, providing them with the resources to lift them back up.'
"Several community organizations set up at the event. On Wednesday, there was free food, haircuts and services connecting homeless veterans to housing and jobs.
"According to the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, Maine is the second best state when it comes to providing shelter for homeless veterans, but the number of homeless veterans has been increasing, up 12% from 2024 and 2025. "

This was one of those we'll-stop-on-the-way-back shots after cresting Cadillac Mountain. This particular day, the clouds were so low, there was no view on top of the mountain. Alright, this is killing me. Cadillac Mountain is 1,530 feet (466 m) tall. That's a mountain? I guess it's all in the perspective.

Former DHS head Kristi Noem got permanently sidelined for being unable to do two impossible things at once: be the anti-migrant hardliner Trump appointed her to be and massage the message when shit went sideways.
