We had over 300 people visit us for Maine Open Lighthouse Day! The Coast Guard guided people into the tower (photo 1), and one family arrived by canoe (photo 3). Our awesome volunteers! (photos 5 & 6). Thank you to everyone who visited, and those who helped prep for the big day.

Please join us Saturday, May 13 from 10 AM to 2 PM for our spring cleanup. We'll mow, trim brush, clear the trail as needed, and take a look at summer projects. BYO work gloves, water and snacks or lunch; clippers and lopping shears helpful. If you have a chainsaw you could bring, please let us know (keeping in mind the hike to the lighthouse!).

Directions: Park at the end of Bald Head Road in Arrowsic and hike the 2/3 mile rough trail to Squirrel Point. Visit www.squirrelpoint.org for detailed directions.  Email squirrelpointlight@gmail.com if you can join us or have questions! We hope to see you there.

Coming soon: An update on the initiative to replace the bridge to Squirrel Point and Bald Head Preserve!
