Presumpscot Regional Land Trust staff and volunteers have been hard at work cleaning up damage caused by several of the big windstorms throughout the winter. Preserve stewards have surveyed the trails for major blowdowns and then returned with chainsaws and handsaws. Volunteers helped to clear three large blowdowns at Black Brook Preserve, cleaned up the northern section of the Mill Brook Preserve trail, as well as located major blowdowns that needed attention, while many others cleaned up minor debris while scouting for large logs.

Thanks to their efforts, the trails are once again walkable for the winter season. However, if you are out on a Land Trust trail and see a tree that is down, please let us know. If you would like to help keep the trails clear and join a work day or are interested in becoming a preserve steward, email Program Manager Toby Jacobs at toby@prlt.org.
