LIBERTY — The Citizens’ Association of Liberty Lakes (CALL) will hold their 2024 Annual Meeting on Friday, July 12, from 6:30 - 8 p.m., at the Liberty Community Hall, on Pinnacle Road, in Liberty. The featured speaker will be Ron Joseph, author of Bald Eagles, Bear Cubs, and Hermits: Memoirs of a Wildlife Biologist.

Joseph will share his stories of growing up in rural Maine and working as a wildlife biologist. He began his career, first as a state wildlife biologist, and later as a federal biologist specializing in the restoration of eagles, peregrines, and other endangered species in Maine. His book includes many “humorous stories, such as one about the time he had to count piles of deer dung on designated mile-long lines and encountered a woman who bluntly asked, “So you went to college for that?”

The public is welcome to attend the meeting. It provides the opportunity to meet other community members who appreciate the beautiful lakes and ponds of Liberty as well as learn about CALL’s Invasive Aquatic Plant Survey, Lake Keepers Children’s Camp, the Courtesy Boat Inspection program, and the Maine Audubon Loon Survey. Light refreshments will be provided.

CALL is a 501c3 volunteer-driven membership association whose mission is to maintain and improve the quality of Liberty lakes for the benefit of those who live, work, and recreate in the watershed.
