MCHT's Community Outreach Efforts Recognized
In recent years, MCHT has implemented a number of initiatives to broaden our outreach to local communities. These efforts have included increasing the publicity of our preserves, developing new trails, bolstering ties between land conservation and local economies, and hosting dozens of preserve field trips. Recently, these efforts were recognized in three stories appearing in two of the State's daily newspapers:
Saving, Working the Land (9/19/09): This Bangor Daily News editorial highlights the Trust's efforts to work more closely to help support the economic needs of local communities while preserving properties of statewide importance.
Paddle to Whaleboat Island (9/20/09): Deirdre Fleming, outdoor writer for the Maine Sunday Telegram, captures the lure of kayaking to MCHT's Whaleboat Island Preserve.
This land is our land (9/24/09): Focused on MCHT's Bog Brook Preserve, this Bangor Daily News article highlights a newly created handicap accessible trail, our work with local blueberry growers, and efforts to get more people connected to the land.
