BRIDGTON — Loon Echo Land Trust needs volunteers to help with summer trail maintenance on the Ledges Trail of its Pleasant Mountain Preserve. Once again, Loon Echo staff will be joined by the Maine Chapter of the Appalachian Mountain Club and a group of hardy volunteers to continue with maintenance on the popular trail. This summer the trail work day is set for Saturday, July 30.

The work involves cleaning drainage ditches, clipping brush and trail hardening. Some tools will be supplied, but volunteers should come prepared with work boots, gloves, water, energy-rich snacks and a camera. Interested volunteers should meet Loon Echo staff at 7:45 a.m. at the Ledges trailhead, located three miles down Mountain Road from Route 302. This is a moderate-difficult hike and will last approximately five hours.
