Each and every fall, volunteers visit the fort to check on the property and make notes for the following season. These are the people who put the āfriendsā in Friends of Fort Gorges.
Hereās what's currently on the list for 2027:
Goats to eat poison ivy
Update the management plan
Prepare for the wharf rebuild
Launch a new tour app
Continue programming of Maineās most unique performance space
Special thanks to our trustee Steve Russell for providing transportation and to our volunteers Paul and Sarah.
Fort mascot declared the space safe and tidy for the winter.
We also made a new friend at the dock who was pulling his traps for the season and had this lunker lob in tow.
Stay tuned - 2027 is going to be a great year at the fort.
