MAINE APPALACHIAN TRAIL CLUB 

2025 Trail Crew Project for Volunteers – Come work with us!

The Maine Trail Crew is dedicated to repairing steep and washed-out sections of the Appalachian Trail.  The Trail Crew utilizes rigging equipment and hand tools to build waterbars, steppingstones and drainage ditching. The 2025 project will be on the West Branch of the Piscataquis River to Marble Brook. It will run July 20 to August 8,  from Monday morning (you must arrive Sunday by 4pm) to Thursday or Friday. You can sign up for one, two or three weeks.

People 18 years or older of all background are welcome. Enthusiasm, good health, energy, and adaptability are vital. A willingness to follow instructions, comply with safety rules, and share chores is essential. Experience helps, but we teach trail skills.
