The Cattail Marsh Loop at Northeast Penjajawoc Preserve got a major upgrade this past Saturday!

Thanks to volunteers from UMaine's Kappa Sigma fraternity, we were able to add crossties to slippery sections of bog bridging to help improve traction and extend the lifespan of the bridging. We're grateful for their hard work in getting this project done!

Today's a beautiful day to get outside! Come check out the new improvements and enjoy a spring hike!
