Join Midcoast Conservancy and the Appalachian Mountain Club of Maine for a morning of trail work at Midcoast Conservancy’s Trout Brook Preserve.

Trout Brook Preserve has over a mile and a half of trails wandering through mixed forest and along the gurgling Trout Brook. It is a local hidden gem! 

Midcoast Conservancy and AMC will be partnering on this volunteer trail work day to re-route some heavily eroding trail sections, as well as clear existing trail sections that are overgrown if we have ample hands.  No previous experience is needed—those new to trail work are encouraged to join in on the fun!

Participants should wear sturdy footwear as trail re-routes require hiking off trail on uneven surfaces. Work gloves, loppers, and handsaws are also useful if you have them, if not extras will be provided. Be sure to bring sun protection, water, and snacks/lunch.

No experience is required, just an interest in being outside with like-minded people giving back to a public trail. Please bring sturdy footwear, good work gloves, sun and insect protection, water, and snacks/lunch.

All are welcome but participants must be old enough to safely use tools and be helpful. Participants under 16 must be accompanied by an adult.

Questions? Please reach out to Zoe Thomas.
