The property has 7 miles of trails that need to be cleared for season along with other seasonal tasks. Swan Island has been used for a New England Chapter Rendezvous and MIFW uses it for hunter skills workshops and mentored hunting opportunities.
Participants should come prepared with gloves, protective glasses, water, snacks and other clothing appropriate work and the weather. Personal hand tools are welcome, but no power equipment. The department will also have hand tools available for use.
