Events and Programs
Volunteer Trail Day at Trout Brook Preserve
Join Midcoast Conservancy for a volunteer trail work day at Trout Brook Preserve!
We will focus on replacing and stabilizing the entrance bridging and may do some lopping and re-blazing if we have enough time and hands. October is the best month for trail work so don’t miss out on the fun!
No experience is required, just an interest in being outside with like-minded people giving back to a public trail. Bring work gloves, study shoes, water and a snack. We will provide the tools and expertise!
Children under 16 must be accompanied by an adult.
Email isobel@midcoastconservancy.org with questions.
This is a free volunteer opportunity, but registration is encouraged.
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 on the trails clearing, cutting back, building bog bridges or digging out drainage ditches. Each volunteer day gives us a chance to maintain and improve our expansive trail network at Hidden Valley Nature Center.
Bring work gloves, study shoes, water and a snack. We will provide the tools and expertise!

Volunteer Trail Day at West Branch Preserve
Join Midcoast Conservancy and the Appalachian Mountain Club of Maine for a joint trail work day at West Branch Preserve in Somerville!
We will be focusing on building a stepping stone pathway over a wet section of trail, in addition to installing a water bar and lopping some overgrowth if we have enough hands. If you haven't worked with rock before and would like to, or if you'd like to add to your rock work experience, please join us for a few hours of rock and roll fun!
The trail workday will start in the morning, details of starting time and trailhead location will be provided once you register through AMC’s website for the event.
