The Camden Hills State Park hired Lincolnville resident Erik Brooks for a new position called Trail Supervisor to coordinate, train, and lead volunteers. The Maine Conservation Corps (MCC) will return to the Park this season. “If you enjoy hiking and working outdoors amongst friends, I would love your help improving the trails,” said Brooks. MCC has done important work over the years rehabilitating eroded sections of trail, including Nature Trail in 2022 and soon Slope Trail in 2023, according to Brooks. But recognizing the backlog of work and need for annual maintenance on all trails, with no gaps between years, the park is now looking to trail enthusiasts in the local community to help.
