Get Ready for Love Maine Trails Month this June
It’s hard to believe it, but June is going to be here before you know it! We are making preparations for the third annual Love Maine Trails Month which will take place from Saturday, June 1st through Sunday, June 30th.
Love Maine Trails Month (LMTM) is a collective month of stewardship where volunteers and staff of trail stewardship groups come together to perform a variety of projects, raising awareness of the ethic of care and magnitude of scale required to maintain Maine’s trails.
Each year, LMTM hosts and participating groups submit data about their project and volunteer and staff time. 5 LMTM event hosts who submit a post-event form by Friday, August 2nd will be entered to win $1,000 LMTM Award for their organization
Love Maine Trails Month is organized by the Maine Trails Coalition in partnership with Maine Trail Finder who lists the volunteer events on their calendar.
How Can I Volunteer during Love Maine Trails Month?
Love Maine Trails Month is an excellent opportunity to get your feet wet (this may actually happen) and get involved with a trail maintaining group! Make a plan to volunteer at least one day this June!
No prior trail work experience is needed for many events during LMTM, just a willingness to learn, have fun, and give back to Maine’s trails. If everyone who loves trails was able to volunteer even one day, imagine the difference we could make!
LMTM Events will be listed on the Maine Trail Finder event calendar
Interested in Hosting a LMTM Event?
If your organization would like to host a Love Maine Trails Month trail work day, please visit the Love Maine Trails Month Host Page for further details. Let’s work together to engage volunteers on your critical trail projects and tell the story of the efforts that go into taking care of the trails we love here in Maine.
Don’t forget, there is a chance to win $1,000 for your trail club/group/organization. 5 Love Maine Trails Month Awards will be distributed at random to groups that submit a Post-Event Form by deadline.
If you have questions or ideas for a LMTM Event, reach out to Silvia at Maine Trails Coalition here.
