Interested in working for us? We are always on the look out for dedicated individuals interested in the parks and rec world.

Whether it’s child care, parks maintenance, beaches, cable tv, or recreation, we would love for you to join our team!

HELP US, HELP YOU!

Clean up after your pets and help keep the watershed healthy for humans, fish and wildlife.

Besides being unpleasant to the eyes and nose, pet waste is an environmental pollutant that can cause serious harm to Maine’s waterways. A quick rain is all it takes to transfer dog droppings from the ground into our streams, rivers, lakes, and ocean. Pet waste carries bacteria, viruses and parasites that threaten the health of humans and wildlife. By scooping the poop you are removing harmful nutrients and bacteria from local waterways keeping our citizens healthy and our yards and shoes clean.

Help Stop the Poo-llution!

• Make use of the provided poop bag dispensers at all of our beaches and parks or bring your own. Take multiple bags on walks, just in case.

• Tie the bags shut and dispose in a trash receptacle. Do not drop bags to the side of the trash receptacle, into the trees, or off to the side of a trail.

• Never throw pet poop in a compost pile.

• Educate your children on the importance of picking up after your pets.
