Some goals for the 2023 field season:

  • Volunteer trail and campsite maintainers will trim brush, clean out fire pits, shelters, and waterbars, remove downed trees, repair shelters, paint blazes, and maintain privies. 
  • Corridor monitors will protect boundary lands by looking for timber trespass, trash dumping, illegal motor vehicle crossings, and other encroachments. 
  • The campsite committee will build three new environmentally friendly accessible privies at Cranberry Stream, Frye Notch, and Pierce Pond campsites. 
  • Three Ridgerunners will provide education and stewardship on Bigelow and Saddleback mountains, as well as within the 100 Mile Wilderness. 
  • The Maine Trail Crew will rebuild eroding, degraded, muddy sections with stone steps, staircases, waterbars, and relocations at Kennebec-south, Fourth Mountain, Nahmakanta Stream, Woodrat’s Spring, and the Hunt Trail on Katahdin.
