ALF Announces 2006 Volunteer Work Dates at Little River Light Station

85% restored; therefore ALF is going to make a big push in 2006 to complete the project this year – but we need the volunteer support of our members and friends to make this goal a reality.

Working at a light station like Little River can be a lot of fun, as you make new friends and have a memorable time working together to save this historic lighthouse located in a Downeast environmental paradise. The experience includes the thrill of embarking each day for the island at the head of Cutler Harbor by boat, passing the many working lobster and fishing boats that call the harbor home along your journey. Once at Little River Island, volunteers begin retracing the steps of the keepers before them as they walk along a half-mile boardwalk through a wooded forest of pine trees; eventually arriving at a clearing where the light station is snugly nestled on its rocky perch – a magical place where land ends and the open blue expanse of Grand Manan Channel begins.

2006 Little River Light Station Volunteer Work Dates

June 28^th through July 5^th

August 7^th through August 13^th

September 1^st through September 4^th

For more information on how you can help volunteer at Little River Light Station, call the American Lighthouse Foundation at (207) 646-0245 or email at info@lighthousefoundation.org

Once restored, Little River Light Station will serve as a truly unique educational and environmental experience for young and old alike, as well as an outdoor living classroom for students studying marine science and Maine’s precious coastal environment.

Before we arrive at this point though, the light station must have its plumbing restored. As you can imagine, this will be a costly effort, especially for an offshore site. If you cannot volunteer your time in 2006 at Little River Light Station but want to help nonetheless, the American Lighthouse Foundation would be extremely grateful for any financial contribution you could afford to help the organization pay for the professional installation of plumbing in the former keeper’s dwelling. Please consider making a donation today to ALF for Little River Light Station – just like a volunteer’s time, your generous financial gift will help move this historic site closer to completion!
