Wolfe’s Neck Center for Agriculture and the Environment received a $10,000 grant to partner with the Penobscot Nation on a research project to survey the property at Wolfe’s Neck Farm, once home to the Wabanaki and Abenaki peoples. One question Wolfe’s Neck Center will explore is what the land looked like 13,000 years ago, as well as what changed. “We decided to put one [application] in that would look at this place from the perspective of the Penobscot people,” said Tilly Laskey, public historian for Wolfe’s Neck Center. Wolfe’s Neck Center will apply its 626 acres and around 250 acres of Wolfe’s Neck Woods State Park to determine Wabanaki cultural uses on the land.
