New Trails at Alewive Preserve!


The new trail extends the Red Trail and connects it to the Blue Trail and the pond via the new Purple Trail.


These trails were designed, built, blazed and mapped by Kennebunk Land Trust Stewardship Committee members and Kennebunk High School volunteer seniors.

Writing the Land: Maine

Watch out for Wildlife!


This time of year, lots of animals are nesting, laying eggs, hatching, and fledging nests.


Please take care and stay on marked trails, leave wildlife plenty of space, and keep eyes out to make sure dogs don't disturb nests or habitats.


Let's share the preserves with our animal friends so they can thrive!
