School hasn’t even started, and we’ve got students getting to work!
🌱🌱🌱🌸🌸🌸🧤🧤🧤
A big thanks to these two seniors who volunteered to come bright and early to w**d one of our courtyards at Mount Desert Island High School. They’re the best!

A big thanks also to our Grounds/Custodial Staff who work so hard to get ready for our 2026-2027 school year.

We love looking for signs! Some of the community flyers posted by Open Table MDI this am.

Lots of great events, run by amazing organizations, powered in part by volunteers.

Where do you check for signs? Feel free to post a picture or just give a tip ⭐️AND make a plan to attend & lend a hand (preferably with your favorite high schooler 🙂).

Trail Crew Update!

Heads up, volunteers! Our Monday trail workdays have wrapped up — but you can still join us every Wednesday.

Caring for the land is a shared responsibility, and FBC’s trail crew depends on volunteers like you to help protect the trails that connect our community to nature. Every workday is a chance to give back to the places you love!

How it works:
📍 Meet at FBC’s office at Tidal Falls, 8:30 AM
🚗 We’ll caravan together to the worksite
⏰ Workdays run 9:00 AM – 1:00 PM
📧 Details sent to volunteers via email in advance

What to bring:
💧 Water, snacks, and/or lunch
☀️ Bug spray & sunscreen
🥾 Sturdy boots & gloves

Register online today to get involved!

Mount Desert Island High School students, grab a friend who needs more hours, too. Ideally, volunteers commit for a season or more (ex. fall ok, but too busy in winter).
