WVII announces bog boardwalk call for volunteers

WVII (Channel 7) announced the Orono Bog Boardwalk is calling for volunteers this weekend to help get the boardwalk ready for opening day later this month. According to the boardwalk director, Jim Bird, 47 sections are being replaced as part of an ongoing project. Located on the eastern edge of the Rolland F. Perry City Forest — commonly known as the Bangor City Forest — the boardwalk is jointly managed by the University of Maine, city of Bangor and the Orono Land Trust. Volunteers have been helping build and maintain the boardwalk for the last nine years, according to WVII. Anyone interested in helping can contact Bird at 944.0434; james.bird@maine.edu.
