Training sessions are held in April through August. Our biggest demand is during May, June, Sept. and Oct. Proceeds go towards programs and improvements at the Park. Swan Island Guided truck tours of Swan Island for school groups are available on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays by appointment only. The island is 4 miles long, so a truck tour to see the whole Island is necessary.
Tours cover human history, natural history of native wildlife, and habitat management for wildlife.
Seasonal Conservation Aides conduct these tours. Students will board the ferry to cross the Kennebec River to the Island. Once on the Island, you will board the truck for your tour. We need to know your departure time from the parking lot, too, so we can get you back on time. Bring a picnic and spend the day.
