Writing the Land: Maine

This anthology of poems and photography showcases many land trusts throughout Maine.

Poems for Kennebunk Land Trust  were written by Cynthia Lozier and inspired by

Mousam River Wildlife Sanctuary.

Photos of our preserves are from local residents. 

     Listen and see the inspiration

Poet Cynthia Lozier recorded a reading of one of her poems from the book.

Winter is a great time to explore Kennebunk Land Trust trails!

Trail access information to consider as you plan your trip:

• The parking lots at Wonderbrook, Alewive Woods, and For All Forever typically get plowed all winter
• Oxbow Preserve and Butler Preserve parking is weather dependent
• The trails at Sea Road Preserve and Clark Preserve are dependent on the Bridle Path and Eastern Trail being accessible

Winter hiking basics:

• Layer clothing with a warm base and waterproof shell
• Bring a map and tell others where you're going
• Wear shoes that are water resistant with good treads or spikes
• Carry snacks and a warm beverage to keep your energy and spirits up!
