A limited edition poster celebrating Sheepscot Valley Conservation Association’s 45th anniversary is now available at several retail locations in our area. Based on a watercolor painting of the Sheepscot River by local artist Jon Luoma, proceeds from poster sales will support SVCA’s programs protecting the Sheepscot River watershed.

Called “Sheepscot Summer (Kingfisher),” the painting shows the forested wildlife corridor, running from the Atlantic Ocean to the Sheepscot’s inland headwaters, with a female Belted Kingfisher in the foreground. The poster was printed in a limited edition of 250 and each is signed by the artist. At just $25, or 2 for $40, these will make fine holiday gifts.

The poster is offered for sale at Alna Store and Wizard of Odds & Ends in Alna, the Green Bean Coffee Shop in South China, Sarah's Cafe and Treats in Wiscasset, Sheepscot General Store in Whitefield, Sheepscot Pottery in Edgecomb, Salt Bay Framers, Skidompha Library and Maine Coast Book Shop all in Damariscotta and the SVCA office at 624 Sheepscot Road in Newcastle.
