Maine Conservation Corps is in the midst of their recruitment season for positions in their Field Team and several Environmental Steward placements.  Maine Conservation Corps (MCC) is an AmeriCorps program which engages members in conservation projects throughout Maine.  MCC offers a great opportunity to develop hands-on conservation and leadership skills while serving with a team to improve and expand access to Maine's wilderness, coast, and mountains.  Last year, Cape Elizabeth greatly benefited from this program with the replacement of the boardwalk at Gull Crest and similar projects are already slated for this October.
