Sturdy backs and friendly neighbors are asked to lend a hand at Machiasport’s Trailblazing Blitz, a trail-breaking work session scheduled for Saturday, Aug. 14. Town clerk Marcia Hayward says the town is ready to move forward on the project, which was originally planned for 2020 in honor of Maine’s bicentennial celebration. 

Once completed, the work will add extensive walking and biking trails to 27 acres of town property near the municipal center.
