Writing the Land: Maine

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

Mousam River Wildlife Sanctuary.

Photos of our preserves are from local residents.

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!
