The Boardwalk opens for the season on May 1st and will close in late November. Volunteers are always needed to scrape and re-paint the benches and maintain interpretative station rails. Each of the 509 sections has to be checked to make sure that all deck boards and railings are safe and secure. We are checking all sections to make sure that they are level in order to be ADA compliant. There is much to do, and you can be part of it. If you would like to help maintain the Boardwalk during the 2013 season please contact Boardwalk Maintenance Leader Phil Locke at philhelenbangor@yahoo.com. Watch this page for announcements about workdays. Directions to the boardwalk site from Orono: Via Stillwater Ave, drive about 200 yards south of American Concrete (near the Orono/Bangor town line), turn westward onto Tripp Drive, go to Bangor City Forest parking lot at end of road, park, and follow the East Trail about 1/4 mile to the boardwalk.What you should bring: If you have any of following gear, bring it with you: work gloves, and rubber boots. We have extras on site to loan you, if needed. All tools are available at the site. Wear a hat, long sleeves and work trousers. Bring sun block, insect repellent, drinking water, and lunch if you are staying for more than one session.
