Saturday, November 3, 2007. TAKE PRIDE IN ACADIA DAY, 8:30 a.m. – 1:00 p.m.

Join one of the most important volunteer events of the year in Acadia National Park. Leaf-rakers are needed to clean out drainage ways, and prepare Acadia’s 44 miles of historic carriage roads for winter. This volunteer effort contributes valuable assistance to the park, reducing carriage road erosion from the rains, ice, and thaws during winter and spring.

A free CCC lunch (chili, cornbread, and cider) follows the morning’s work.

Bring gloves, a rake if you have one, water, your family and friends, and prepare the park for winter.

Registration is required. Please contact Terry Begley at 207-288-3340 or send an email to terry@friendsofacadia.org .
