Lighthouse Trail project April 2025
Arriving on Monday, April 7th, a twelve-member team of AmeriCorps leaders, led by three Maine Conservation Corps (MCC) staff, embarked upon an intense, multi-project program of trail system renovation at the Swan’s Island Lighthouse.
The team worked for eight-plus days, departing on Tuesday, April 15th, and left of string of wonderful upgrades in their wake. The program was designed both to execute the much-needed “heavy lifting” of several vital trail projects, and to meet the training objectives these MCC prospective team leaders required for the season ahead. The first and probably largest of the projects was clearing the extensive blow-down area on the Long Point Beach Trail.
The team worked on 417 feet of trail, plus 2.5 acres of fuels reduction, including:
- 133.5 ft of new trail constructed
- 277 blowdowns cleared
- 200 ft of trail closed
- 46.5 feet of bog bridging constructed
- 16 stepping stones (pavers) installed
- 120 ft of retaining wall constructed
- 2.5 acres of fuels reduction
- 40 habitat piles constructed
- 238 trees cleared
