The Rangeley Region Guides’ & Sportsmen’s Association (RRGSA) invites the public to its monthly meeting and potluck supper social on Thursday, Aug. 21. The doors open at 5 p.m. at the association’s clubhouse located at 41 Old Skiway Road in Oquossoc Village.

This month’s meeting promises an informative evening featuring guest speaker Julie Davenport, District Forester with the Maine Forestry Department, along with our local Forest Ranger. Topics will include the vital role and services of the Department of Forestry, current challenges facing Maine’s forests, such as invasive species, insect outbreaks, and disease devastation.

Additionally, Davenport will address growing concerns regarding forest fires amidst the region’s extremely dry conditions and discuss practical fire prevention steps that concerned citizens can take.

The event is family-friendly, and all are encouraged to bring a favorite dish or dessert to share at the potluck supper following the presentation.
