Gravel roads are essential for seasonal and year-round access to homes, camps, and natural areas across Maine. If not properly maintained, they can lead to challenges for landowners – they can also contribute to erosion and water quality problems. Join them for a hands-on workshop focused on how to evaluate and maintain gravel roads with water quality and long-term performance in mind.
A gravel road maintenance workshop will be held on Tuesday, August 26, from 9 a.m. – 2 p.m., at the Unity Community Center, 32 School St. Admission is free and a bag lunch is suggested. The workshop is presented by Peter Coughlan, director of Maine DOT’s Community Services Division, and Josh Platt, president and founder, Maine Environmental Solutions LLC.
This free training is ideal for landowners, contractors, town officials, watershed groups, and anyone else interested in improving road resilience and protecting nearby lakes and streams.
