Julia Neumann, Outreach Steward for the Maine Appalachian Trail Club, helps connect Maine youth to the AT, offering activities designed to help kids become comfortable with outdoor adventure. Julia is looking for classes, after school programs, and other opportunities to offer activities for kids that will leave them eager to get out on the trail!

Meet Adam Fisher, BPL’s Maine Trails Program Manager. We caught up with Adam to talk about his journey from Alaska to Maine, the whirlwind of launching a multi-million dollar program, and where to find the best pastries in the Pine Tree State.

With awards pending in the first round, MTC and partners study responses to the MTP Stakeholder Feedback survey and prepares to share key themes with BPL.

Whether you and your trail organization applied for a Maine Trails Program grant this fall or not, we’d like to hear from you through this quick questionnaire.

Meet MTC’s new director, Leigh Hallett, who brings extensive experience in natural resource management, economic development, and nonprofit leadership.
