Friends from the Field: Introduction to the Maine Island Trail

Learn about the Maine Island Trail, a recreational water trail that includes over 240 sites and spans the entire coast of Maine. Maria will provide an overview of the origins of the Trail and the organization's model of visitor based stewardship, as well as share ways to get involved and resources for new boaters. Maria Jenness is the midcoast Regional Stewardship Manager for the Maine Island Trail Association (MITA), and works with volunteers and partners to steward islands from Pemaquid Point to Naskeag Point.
