The Maine Conservation Corps welcomes volunteers to join our members and teams on projects throughout the state. Individuals and groups are invited to help out with projects like trail construction & maintenance, watershed surveys, invasive species removal, and many other conservation efforts.

Here are the projects they are working on this year. Date shown is the project start date. I will be in the Greenville area starting later next week and will probably pitch in over there for a day or two. There are a couple of exciting new projects not on this list cutting brand new trails. How often does that happen?
PM me if you want to know the specifics of what I'm doing.
