Have you always wanted to learn how to mend your clothes? Do you have a pile of clothes you love that need a little TLC before you can wear them again? Are you a seasoned mender looking to meet and connect with others? There is a place for you at WHRL’s Mending Cafe! Share your favorite technique for putting a patch on your jeans, sewing on a button, darning your knitwear, and more! Some repairs may benefit from the use of a sewing machine; we will always have at least one available.
We welcome all skill levels to this program. Although this will not be a class, there will be menders who can help you brainstorm ideas for your repairs. We will have some tools and materials available, but we recommend bringing your favorite sewing notions from home. We will have plenty of fabric scraps, embroidery floss, yarn, and iron for pressing. We will also have some of our favorite books on mending techniques available for in-class use and inspiration!
Please note that this program will take place monthly on the second Tuesday of each month on a drop-in basis.

Wilderness First Aid
2026-11-14 - 2026-11-15 | WHRL Thankful Room, 87 Main Street (parking lot door), Milbridge, Maine, 04658
Join us for a two-day OWL skill-building workshop: Wilderness First Aid! November 14-15 from 9 am to 5 pm.
Accidents happen. People get hurt, sick, or lost. The temperature drops, the wind picks up, and it starts to rain. Would you know what to do? Many backcountry emergencies are preventable; even when bad things happen, sometimes the wrong care can worsen things. By learning a few basic skills, you can make the difference between a good and bad outcome – and maybe even save a life.
Wilderness First Aid is the perfect course for outdoor enthusiasts who want basic first-aid training for short trips with family, friends, or outdoor groups. We are excited to have Nancy Zane, a Registered Maine Guide and owner of NorthStar Adventures, return to teach this course!
Wilderness First Responder recertification will be available to participants for an additional $15.00 per person. You must have a SOLO WFR to recertify with a WFA course. If you have a WFR from a company other than SOLO, you can only recertify with a WFR recertification course.
CPR certification will be available immediately after class for an additional $25 per person.
For any questions, email Lizzie at lizzie@whrl.org or call 413-717-7827.

Nature's Gifts, Ingersoll Point
2026-12-12 12:00 - 15:00 | Ingersoll Point, Addison
How can we use nature to improve mental and physical health? This outing will provide guided nature-connection activities you can use anytime to regain a sense of calm and deepen a connection to place as well as show examples of how we can build survival skills by learning from the year-round species that do it best. To top it off, we’ll learn about some nature-based crafts to inspire holiday gifts. In OWL outings, frequent stops are built into the program to discuss elements of the natural world that we learn about on the way. The pace is always determined by the needs and desires of the group with a primary goal of going slow to enhance our connection with nature and each other. Moderate hike.* Trail info available at https://www.mainetrailfinder.com/trails/trail/ingersoll-point-preserve. Bring warm winter layers, including waterproof, insulated boots. As a base layer, long johns (wool or synthetic) are recommended under bulky, warm mid-layers and water- and windproof outer layers, including mittens/gloves and a hat. Bring a comfortable backpack to carry extra layers and water in. Questions about how to prepare? Just ask! We have extra gear to share.
OWL Outings are led by Registered Maine Guides at Maine Outdoor School who all hold a minimum of a Wilderness First Aid certification. To learn more about MOS’s guides, visit https://www.maineoutdoorschool.org/staff.
*To determine the difficulty level of outings, we use Maine TrailFinder’s difficulty rating system. For more detailed information about these difficulty levels, including visual examples, explore the rating system here.
