Taking pride in Acadia

November 16, 2017

Bar Harbor Savings and Loan employees and their families pitched in again at this year’s annual Take Pride in Acadia Day, sponsored by Friends of Acadia. Together with more than 500 other volunteers, they spent a sunny Saturday morning raking leaves and clearing drainage ditches from miles of historic carriage roads in preparation for winter.

The volunteer effort, now in its twenty-seventh year, focuses on areas where clogged drainage ditches and culverts could result in significant damage to road surfaces during the freeze-and-thaw cycles of a coastal Maine winter.
