MCHT Contributes to Community Trail
The Narraguagus River, Milbridge
Maine Coast Heritage Trust (MCHT) recently donated $6,000 to help the Town of Milbridge improve a waterfront trail that runs along the Narraguagus River. The Town plans to use the funds to improve the trail surface and upgrade it for handicapped access. "We are grateful for this partnership with MCHT, and for their ongoing support of conservation in the region" said Lewis Pinkham, Town Manager of Milbridge. MCHT is working with a number of partners in Washington County on projects that have direct community benefits and fit with the Trust's conservation mission.
"We're thrilled to be helping the town of Milbridge on this important project," said Patrick Watson, Project Manager at MCHT. "This is a beautiful trail, and offers folks a great chance for wildlife viewing and getting outdoors. We hope that more people will have a chance to use it after the improvements are made."
The trail runs from behind the Town Office to the shore and along the shore to Route 1A with a spectacular view of the Narraguagus River and Narraguagus Bay. The trail includes an impressive wooden bridge that crosses a small tidal inlet. Eagles, Osprey and other wildlife are frequently sighted from the trail.
