Volunteering with the Maine Conservation Corps
The Maine Conservation Corps welcomes volunteers who join our members and teams on projects throughout the state. Individuals and groups are invited to help out with projects like trail construction & maintenance, watershed surveys, invasive species removal, and other conservation efforts.
Volunteers under 16 years of age will need to be accompanied by an adult. Volunteers must be at least 14 years old to participate in MCC projects. For more details visit the MCC website on Volunteering.
Volunteers are asked to wear appropriate clothing, gloves, and footwear.
Some local activities for you to consider volunteering:
Rachel Carson National Wildlife Refuge
On July 17th the Rachel Carson National Wildlife Refuge is having a volunteer day!
“Every third Friday of the month, we will host a volunteer day for anyone who is interested. Activities will run from 9am until noon and involve a variety of tasks from winter rabbit tracking to invasive plant removal to helping us get organized with some much needed “spring” cleaning. This is a great opportunity to learn about the Refuge, what we do to protect wildlife and their habitat, gain experience, meet new people, and have fun! ”
