Happy Friday Everyone!

Much appreciation to everyone who already made a gift during our 60th Anniversary membership campaign. Of course if you haven’t given yet you still do so here.

On our website, you’ll also find our incredible list of stories from our year-long series, Climate Driven. We reported a batch of stories this week and last, looking at York County.

You’ll find stories about community solar, sea level rise, salt marshes, and stations for tagging deer (and counting ticks) in the mix. We’re working on a stories covering Oxford County next - look out for those mid-December.

Our friends at PBS Newshour Weekend traveled to Acadia to hear the sounds of the offseason park. Plus, translating a Sergio Leonne western in the Navajo language, rebuilding Notre Dame, and how Mozart is helping research into epilepsy.

Enjoy these stories and catch you in the next edition of The Ten,

Maine Public: Centuries worth of carbon is stored in salt marshes. That's why restoring them is essential to mitigate climate change

This story is part of our series "Climate Driven: A deep dive into Maine's response, one county at a time." When salt marshes are under stress, they degrade, and actually release carbon into the atmosphere. Scientists in Maine recently unlocked a mystery that helps explain what's happening to marshes — and how to restore them.
