The signs are going up on the Long Creek Trail! 🌲🥾

Two of our three new interpretive signs were installed on the trail, marking an exciting step forward! A great crew helped assemble the signs, dig the holes, get everything in place, and pour the cement. The third sign will be installed within the next day or two.

Many thanks to the amazing signs team for all their hard work, and a special shoutout to Maine Trail Builders Maine Trail Builders for helping make this project happen! The signs look fantastic! 🌿
