What an incredible crew today for the Way of Southern Maine Day of Caring volunteer day at the Alewive Access Trail! We took our chances against the impending rainstorm, and Mother Nature treated us kindly with some easy temps and just some light sprinkles. The crew worked hard (and were even still jovial after a sign mix up that necessitated an extra trip town the trail with the wagon), and got it all done by lunchtime!

This crew was extra special in that one year ago, they spent their DOC clearing brush for the nascent trail, and now they are putting the finishing touches installing maps, signs, and kiosks! We are exceedingly grateful for every hand that has played a part in getting this trail opened and welcoming.

Join Kennebunk Land Trust next weekend June 27-29th for the opening celebrations of the new trail! Learn more at the Alewive Access Trail Opening Weekend event page.

We had a great time on the Invasive Plant Walk & Talk this morning! Thank you so much to Shawn Jalbert of Native Haunts Nursery for leading our participants through Emmons Preserve to identify invasives and learn their impact. Lots of great information and a beautiful morning spent outside!

Slides 5 and 6 are multi-flora rose and Morrow’s honeysuckle, both invasives.

This program is part of a collaborative effort between Kennebunkport Conservation Trust and Kennebunk Land Trust to manage invasive plants in our properties and learn together how to best address this issue. More to come!

Yesterday we welcomed the opening of the new headquarters for the Rachel Carson National Wildlife Refuge on Brown Street in Kennebunk, just down the road from our office! The tremendous building and surrounding landscape is open to visitors to learn in their new exhibit hall and recreational trails. A lot of hard work work made this project happen, and it was a well deserved ribbon-cutting ceremony that just-so-happened to the be on the great Rachel Carson’s birthday!

We were honored to celebrate with some of Maine’s congressional delegation! Angus King Congresswoman Chellie Pingree
