Building bridges to build bridges!

Kennebunk High School Alterative Education students ventured out into KLT's newest property, Tributary Preserve, to clear trail and build bridges over some especially wet and muddy areas.

They did an incredible amount of work - over 140' of bridging installed! - and have been instrumental in getting this this trail system ready to open to the public.

There is more work to be done, and we couldn't more grateful to the students and their teachers for this support!

Generous community donations allowed this project to be possible.

Donate to our other trail projects here.
