  Midcoast Maine Green Burial, a local grassroots organization, formed to create the formation of a green burial cemetery in Knox, Waldo or Lincoln County. They will host a one session illustrated presentation about green burial. They will introduce the topic of green burial and discuss how the practice sequesters carbon and preserves land. A member of the organization will also explore how the process can afford an intimate healing experience for the loved ones of the person who has died.

  This special presentation is FREE and OPEN to the public. You do not have to be a member of Senior College. Registration is not required, but is appreciated so we know how many attendees to expect.
