Allagash Wilderness Waterway Work Trips

Explore the natural world, meet people with similar interests and help complete meaningful work along the Northern Forest Canoe Trail this summer! Join our staff, interns and other volunteers for a few days of field work. A small fee covers all meals. In addition to the work, we always make time for paddling, exploration and relaxation. If you have any additional questions or want to be added to a waitlist for full trips, please contact Trail Director Noah Pollock at noah@northernforestcanoetrail.org or 802-496-2285 ext. 2.
