Events and Programs
Rescheduled! Volunteer Trail Day at Trout Brook Preserve
Join Midcoast Conservancy for a volunteer trail work day at Trout Brook Preserve in Alna where we will hike through a hemlock grove along the scenic Trout Brook on the red trail to get to our work site.
During the trail day, we’ll focus on replacing a rickety bridge crossing one of the drainages and do some lopping and trail clearing on our hike out to the bridge.
The day will start in the morning at 9:00am and wrap up around 12:00pm with the option to have a picnic lunch along the river afterwards.
No experience is required, just an interest in being outside with like-minded people giving back to a public trail. Tools will be provided (though participants are encouraged to bring your favorite loppers, hand saw, and gloves if you have them).

Space is limited and registration for this event is required.
Volunteer firewood Production Day
Join Midcoast Conservancy for a volunteer firewood production day at Hidden Valley Nature Center!
Volunteers like you make normal operations at Hidden Valley Nature Center possible. Join us for a day of splitting, hauling, and stacking firewood for the Bezon Barn so school students and visitors can be warm next winter. You will learn to operate the wood splitter, fill the trailer, and stack wood. Bring gloves, sturdy closed-toed work shoes, bug spray, water, and food. Feel free to join us for all or part of the day.
No experience is required, and all hands are welcome! Children under 16 must be accompanied by an adult.

Volunteer Trail Day at Hidden Valley Nature Center
Join Midcoast Conservancy for a volunteer trail work day Hidden Valley Nature Center in Jefferson!
The trails at Hidden Valley Nature Center run the gamut from narrow footpaths that wind along cliff faces to major arteries that allow us to drive our ranger to cabins and campsites. None of these would remain open if not for volunteers like you!
Join us for a morning of trail work clearing out water bars, raking away leaves so water can drain, and cutting back overgrowth on some of our major trails. N
