Description:
Our AmeriCorps Field Teams are serving at state parks and public lands across the state of Maine! They would love to have volunteers help with trail work and learn about the work being done. This is a great opportunity to learn new skills or share your own!
City of Portland Trails: Established trails at Riverton Trolley Park were destroyed during a forestry harvest project, and the team will be re-establishing and improving the trails. Help the team to restore the area, and provide safe walking areas for the community to enjoy!
