Recently, our Trail Tamer volunteers teamed up with the Maine Conservation Corps to make incredible progress on the new trail connecting Pemaquid Pond and McCurdy Pond at Sarah Weston Kent Preserve. Together, nearly 25 volunteers and crew members cleared trail, improved the tread, and moved this exciting project one step closer to completion.
This work is possible thanks in part to support from Two for the Trails, Athletic Brewing's grant program. Their funding helped us bring on an another Maine Conservation Corps crew to clear an additional 0.75 miles of trail, and improve the previously cleared 0.75 mile section, including bog bridging through wet areas, small bridges over waterways, and improvements that will make the trail more durable and enjoyable for years to come.
We're grateful to Athletic Brewing Company, Maine Conservation Corps, and every volunteer who has picked up a lopper, shovel, or rake to help connect these beautiful ponds with a new public trail. We can't wait to share it with the community next summer!
