Trail Crew
Trail Crew meets every Wednesday from 10am to noon, except during bad weather and around holidays. Details on upcoming Trail Crew sessions will be posted here. Our work focuses on RRCT’s many public access properties, sometimes spending several weeks in a row at the same site. RRCT is also happy to help out at partner properties when Trail Crew is available.
There is a job for everyone, no matter your shape, skills, or strength. Join us the one week you have time or interest, or put Trail Crew on your calendar as your regular Wednesday morning ritual. It's a great way to experience a new preserve, get to know someone new, and learn new trail work techniques. Trail Crew tackles a variety of trail projects including clearing trail corridors, invasive plant removal, route finding and trail alignment, trail marking, constructing bog bridging and bridges, and improving signage. RRCT brings specific tools that will be helpful. We encourage volunteers to bring personal tools as well. Hand saws, pole saws, and loppers are favorites. Crew members should bring a water bottle, and wear sturdy shoes, work gloves, and the right clothes for the day.
Trail Crew is led by RRCT's Stewardship Director Hanae Garrison. If you have any questions or concerns, you can reach me at (973) 255-7513 or Hanae@RRCT.org

UPCOMING TRAIL CREW SESSIONS:
Wednesday, April 30th - No Trail Crew today. Hanae will be at the Maine Land Conservation Conference.
Saturday, May 3rd - Can't make Wednesday morning Trail Crew? Join us for a hands-on Trail Skills Workshop this spring as we help establish a brand-new 2-mile primitive River Elf Trail on a recently conserved 150-acre property along the Royal River in New Gloucester! This exciting project, in partnership with the AMC Maine Chapter, will provide public hiking and fishing access once complete. Registration is now full.
Wednesday, May 7th, 10:00 am - We'll continue where AMC Maine Chapter left off at the new River Elf Trail in New Gloucester. There will be signage to install, brush to remove, tread to rake, and much more. Stay tuned for details.
