Volunteers Needed: Outer Loop Boardwalk Replacement

The Cape Elizabeth Conservation Committee is taking on its largest boardwalk project yet, and asking the community to help replace the Gull Crest Outer Loop boardwalk (900+’). Volunteers and volunteer teams are needed to carry in 620 boards and posts and carry out old boardwalk from September 8th through September 12th. 

Starting on September 13th, a Maine Conservation Corps (MCC) 6 person Team will arrive to construct a new boardwalk and volunteers are needed to partner with them. 

Volunteers will be carrying in from the end of the gravel road that runs behind the Recycling Center.

In order to promote a little friendly competition, neighborhoods and community groups are encouraged to assemble a volunteer team. The team that moves the most lumber will earn bragging rights AND a $100 gift card to purchase provisions for your neighborhood block party or community group meeting. Team leaders should contact the town planner to sign up your team, Maureen.omeara@capeelizabeth.org or 799-0115. 

If you want to help, please contact the town planner so we can coordinate supplies and have someone onsite when you wish to volunteer.
