Community Organizations YCAN Yarmouth Cares About Neighbors (YCAN) is an independent, not-for-profit 501(c)(3) all-volunteer organization. We work to strengthen the Yarmouth, Maine community and meet community needs by connecting available resources with the people who need them. Visit the YCAN website Community Garden The Yarmouth Community Garden’s mission is to create an organic garden for Yarmouth citizens that offers plots for renters; produces fresh vegetables and flowers for distribution to area residents and seniors in need; and provides a gardening experience that benefits all of Yarmouth through education, mentoring, and volunteer participation. Visit the Community Garden website Yarmouth Community Coronavirus Task Force The Yarmouth Coronavirus Community Task Force is a grassroots organization. We work in collaboration with the Town of Yarmouth and Cumberland County service organizations to assist with the disruptions and uncertainties caused by the Coronavirus epidemic. We stand together to help the increasing number of people who may experience food shortages, social isolation, medical and transportation needs in the wake of this coronavirus epidemic. We are part of a larger community strategy that has been initiated by our Town Council, our Town Manager, YCS, EMS, Police, Fire, and all public servants. It is our goal that we participate in efforts to keep core services open, provide residents with safe ways to meet their needs, and work together to mitigate the epidemic and maintain our personal/community health.

Sweetsir Farm Preserve Sweetsir Farm Preserve 102 Old FIeld Road The 30-acre Sweetsir Farm Preserve extends from the end of Old Field Road to the east bank of the Royal River. A narrow path passes through a variety of woods and wetlands to majestic mature oak and rich floodplain forest along the banks of the Royal River. The pleasant half-mile trail has solid footing except for two drainages which are crossable with long strides and stepping stones. It merges with another trail coming in from the left before paralleling the river to a small bluff and then continuing north to a set of vernal pools which harbor spring breeding populations of spotted salamanders, wood frogs, green frogs and spring peepers. The bluff along the river is a scenic place to picnic; look for spring wildflowers and riverside birds. Back to Open Space Page Directions From the intersection of North Road and Ledge Road go north a tenth of a mile to Concord Circle and turn left; go through the subdivision half way around the circle to Old Field Road. Cross the railroad tracks and proceed to a small parking area at the end of the road. The trail extends straight into the woods, approximately 0.3 mile to the river. Special Notes This site has a rare Maine plant called ramp, or wild garlic; please help us conserve this special plant. Stay on the trail and do not dig up any plants or artifacts from Town lands. Like many mixed-woods habitats, this area has ticks. Hunting is allowed on this property by permit from Town Hall. Please wear blaze orange during hunting season

In addition to Town tree staff, a Town Council appointed Tree Advisory Committee (YTAC) meets the fourth Monday of each month at 12noon in the YCS Conference Room located at Yarmouth Town Hall, 200 Main Street. A Town Council working group, the Tree Ordinance Working Group , meets on the 3rd Wednesday of each month on the 3rd Floor of the Merrill Memorial Library from 5:30-7pm. Currently, they are looking for your input and ideas on caring for our trees, now and in the future!
