TALKS & TREKS! We will be up-dating the calendar throughout the winter and spring, so check back soon. ONGOING WEDNESDAY FIELD CREW Every Wednesday, 9 am at the Land Trust Office MVLT's field crew will head out in the field to clear and mark trails, empty bird boxes, build bridges and more. Work parties are a great way to get outside in the watershed, have fun, and meet new people. An email will go out to all crew members each Tuesday, detailing what Wednesday's project will involve, including what tools and personal items will be helpful. Volunteers can commit to as many or as few Wednesdays as they’d like. If interested, please email volmvlt@midcoast.com, and we will add you to the weekly email list.
