Join Midcoast Conservancy for a volunteer trail work day at Trout Brook Preserve in Alna!

This beloved trail meanders through early successional and hemlock forest along Trout Brook, a beautiful little tributary to the Sheepscot River. If we are lucky, the trout lilies should be in full display as well. 

This trail day will give Trout Brook a spring “tune-up”.  We will focus on lopping back and re-blazing the trail, as well as potentially adding new bog bridges in wet areas if we have enough hands. Come join the fun and help clean up the trail for summer hiking!

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 Isobel Curtis.

This is a free volunteer opportunity, but registration is encouraged.

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

Bass Falls Preserve protects over 4,500 feet of river frontage on the Sheepscot River—it is a beautiful place! We’ll be working primarily on replacing rotted bog bridging in the open field at the start of the trail. As time, number of participants, and interest allow, we may also do some lopping and re-blazing on the wooded stretches of trail down to the river. Whether you’ve loved this trail for years, or never visited it before, don’t miss this opportunity to make a difference!

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.
