Coastal Rivers Conservation Trust is looking for a few hale and hearty folks, who love sharing their joy for nature, to assist with education programs and events. Volunteers are needed to maintain an outdoor fire and serve hot cocoa to participants at weekend pop-up sledding events.
On Saturdays in January and February, when there’s enough snow and the weather cooperates, Coastal Rivers Conservation Trust will host pop-up sledding parties at Salt Bay Farm, 110 Belvedere Road, Damariscotta, from 1:30 to 3:30 p.m. Volunteers host this event, serve the treats and maintain the fire. This is a good opportunity for folks to connect with fellow outdoor enthusiasts and share their love for winter.
An orientation to the sledding events is scheduled for Friday, Jan. 17 from 3 to 4 p.m. at Salt Bay Farm. Volunteers will need to be prepared to be outdoors in the snow for prolonged periods and be comfortable carrying firewood, or pulling it in a sled, to the fire site on top of the hill. For more information, please email Angela DesVeaux at adesveaux@coastalrivers.org. For more information on other volunteer opportunities with Coastal Rivers, please fill out a Volunteer Interest Form at: https://www.coastalrivers.org/get-involved/volunteer/ and a staff person will get back to you soon.
