Thanks to our volunteers for a great field season!
Without the help of volunteers, be it for trail building, invasive species management, or easement monitoring, RRCT's burgeoning Stewardship Program wouldn't be nearly as successful as it has been this past fall and summer. Thank you to all of you who lent your time battling bittersweet, building foot bridges, walking easement boundaries, and meeting and greeting our landowners. If you wish to be involved in our volunteer program, be in touch! We'd love to hear from you!

SPRING 2008 LETTER FROM THE PRESIDENT, Tom Armstrong:

of Maine, we were reminded of his visionary approach to land conservation
and wilderness recreation. As members and supporters of RRCT, each of you
help carry forward the governor’s spirit and vision for protecting wild
places. CLICK HERE
