About the Event

Come on out to McIntire Highlands Preserve and help York Land Trust staff restore and reroute a trail! McIntire Highlands has been recently forested and experienced significant storm damage in the winter of 2023. This trail needs considerable attention due to these factors.

As a volunteer, you will assist York Land Trust staff in recovering trails on this limited-access preserve, learn trail building techniques, and understand the effects of severe weather on forests in southern Maine. This workday is part of a series we are doing to reroute the trail. This workday will focus on adding blazes to the trail, posting signage, and closing down old skid trails to increase the safety and accessibility of the trail.

This event is open to trail work beginners and experts alike and is a great opportunity to learn a range of helpful trail work skills.

Due to limited parking at McIntire Highlands, we will meet at the York Land Trust headquarters and carpool to the site.

What to bring

Please bring work gloves and water, and wear long sleeves, long pants, and closed-toed shoes that you do not mind getting dirty. This event will take place rain or shine, so bring appropriate clothing for the weather.
