Emily Guirl

Community Programming Steward

Emily started working at Cobscook Institute in 2025. As Cobscook’s Community Programming Steward she works to deliver meaningful programs, projects, and classes to community members. Her relationship with Cobscook programs started in 2010, when she moved Downeast. She met some of her first Maine friends at a Cobscook pizza night! Over the years she has enjoyed many Cobscook events and programs - pottery, yoga, botany, sailing, play group, and history talks.

Emily graduated from Oberlin College. She has worked in environmental education, agriculture, and conservation. Before moving to Cobscook she was Downeast Coastal Conservancy’s outreach director, managing programming, communications, and development.

With her incredible family, Emily tends a small farm in Whiting.
