Overview:
Volunteer to help keep the Thousand Acre Swamp's trails in good condition, led by Tom McColloch.

Bring your willingness to work (along with gloves,
boots, rakes, and shovels if you have them) for this trail maintenance project. Refreshments provided.

Dress in hiking clothes suitable for weather conditions. Trails are muddy and bordered with poison ivy, so have appropriate footwear. Mosquitoes thrive in warm weather; protect yourself with insect repellant and appropriate covering.
