Love Maine Trails Month


Saturday, June 1st - Sunday, June 30th, 2024

The third annual Love Maine Trails Month will be taking place from Saturday, June 1st through Sunday, June 30th, 2024 at locations across Maine.

Love Maine Trails Month (LMTM) is a month of statewide events bringing people and organizations together to care for Maine’s trails. LMTM brings visibility to the substantial resources and effort required to maintain Maine’s beloved trails. 

When we show up for trails, we are sending a message that we value trails.

The Maine Trails Coalition will be collecting the total volunteer and paid hours that go into LMTM trail work projects. 5 LMTM event hosts who submit a post-event form will be entered to win a $1,000 LMTM Award.

Data and stories collected will help MTC share the importance of statewide trail stewardship efforts and emphasize the need for adequate support & funding for trails. LMTM is made possible thanks to hosts, volunteers, the MTC Stewardship Work Group, and partners like Maine Trail Finder.

Volunteer

If you are planning to get out on the trails this year, make a plan to add in a day or two of service. If everyone was able to volunteer even one day, imagine the difference we could make!

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! No prior trail work experience is needed for most LMTM events, just a willingness to learn, have fun, and give back to Maine’s trails.

For groups that don’t want to host a public event, but agree to participate and share data, you will also be put in the running for $1,000.

We encourage hosts to submit their event by mid-April to early May so we can plan outreach around statewide events.
