Midcoast Conservancy will be hosting an outdoor gear sale – featuring used cross-country skis, boots, and poles, snowshoes, and mountain and fat tire bikes – on November 21 and 22, at their Hidden Valley Nature Center, 131 Egypt Road, Jefferson.

"Most of the gear is in excellent or gently used condition; some may need repairs and will be priced accordingly," said the Conservancy.

The organization is shifting its recreation model from transactional daily gear rentals to seasonal youth ski leases, and holding onto some gear which will be utilized by organized group outings. This helps the organization save money on repairs and will get the gear into the hands of people who can use it regularly on trails throughout the midcoast, including those at Hidden Valley.

The sale will be held Friday, November 21, from 1 - 4:30 p.m., and Saturday, November 22, from 10 a.m. - 3 p.m. All sales will support the organization’s conservation mission and are first come first serve with gear sold in as-is condition.

The popular youth ski lease program will continue and be held concurrently throughout the event, and staff will be on hand to help size gear appropriately for kids 3-17. (Ski lease will be via credit card only)
