Finding a Special Place to Sit 

Kennebunk Land Trust has been busy putting some new trail improvements, and we have more on the way.

We are honored to be the place where new memorial benches can find a home, and family members and the public can spend time and share in this space.

Find them at Oxbow Preserve, Mousam River Wildlife Sanctuary, and

Sea Road Preserve off of the Bridle Path. 

We will have additional benches being installed this fall that will provide more trail enjoyment while out on our trails.

Check out our trail map here!

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.

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