At KLT, our mission includes: "offer(ing) opportunities for people to enjoy the natural world." Right now for everyone across the globe this is incredibly important.
We encourage you to get out in your neighborhood and near your home as you are able-and DO practice social distancing:
If you are exhibiting symptoms related to COVID-19, or if you have recently been exposed to COVID-19, please stay home.
Stay at least six feet away from other people.
If you do decide to go for hike, remember trails are likely to be slippery from ice and mud, which can increase the difficulty level. Stick to easy trails to avoid injuries and further stress on health care resources.
Be sure to tell someone where you are going and when you expect to be back.
Always leave no trace, including cleaning up after your pet, so be sure to bring a disposable bag to carry out any waste.
These tips are adapted from the Maine Bureau of Parks and Lands. Please visit their website for more details and the most up-to-date information.
Please consider avoiding Mount Pisgah in Winthrop and the Vaughan Woods in Hallowell. These areas tend to be quite crowded making social distancing a challenge. Other options are on our Property List Page.
Over the coming days we are going to share recommended "hidden gem" trails for you to enjoy, as well as tips for staying safe and healthy on the trail. Follow us on Facebook or Instagram.
And please, send us your pictures of nature near you! (instagram: @kennebeclandtrust or info@tklt.org). March is a special time with signs of spring everywhere.
We will be updating with more information.
