The Maine Island Trail: A Model for Citizen Stewardship
November 9, 2016, 11:30 AM
The Maine Island Trail is America’s oldest recreational water trail. The trail has grown from an initial 30 islands to include more than 200 properties spanning the entire Maine coast. Come learn from Brian Marcaurelle how this unique recreational resource—built on simple handshakes and maintained by conscientious users—has risen from humble beginnings to become a world-class recreational resource and a model for water trails around the globe. Marcaurelle began at the Maine Island Trail Association as a volunteer in 2004 and was hired as stewardship manager the following year. In 2009 he was named program director and now oversees all of MITA’s trail development, stewardship, and education activities.
