The Lake Region Woodshed is a community initiative led by Loon Echo Land Trust in collaboration with local volunteers, organizations, and businesses to ensure our neighbors stay warm through the long Maine winter. Founded in 2024, the Woodshed is designed to respond quickly with firewood assistance for anyone experiencing a home heating crisis or in need of firewood for the heating season. Firewood is distributed through scheduled pickups and coordinated home deliveries from our main site at 44 South High Street in Bridgton, generously hosted by Bridgton First Church.
Thank you to Khiel Logging and Firewood for supporting the Woodshed with discounted firewood and delivery.
Celebrate the launch of the Lake Region Woodshed! Project partners will share information about the Woodshed and how to get involved. There will also be an optional hands-on opportunity to stack firewood.
When: Sunday, August 3rd, 11:30am
Where: Lake Region Woodshed lot across from UCC First Church, approximately 44 South High Street, Bridgton, ME.
More details: If you plan to help stack wood, come prepared with gloves, closed toed shoes, and attire that may get dirty. Some extra gloves will be available to borrow. Parking will be in the big parking lot behind the Church. There will be a designated drop-off area at the Woodshed for those who need it.
Mail a Check: Loon Echo Land Trust, 8 Depot Street, Suite 4 Bridgton, ME 04009 (Please note “Lake Region Woodshed” on the memo line)
