MAINE SUNDAY TELEGRAM • November 24, 2024
The passage of the $30 million Maine Trails Bond will benefit hikers and trail maintenance groups alike. It can be easy to take fantastic trails for granted. However, the thousands of miles of trails in Maine are sustained largely by the hard work of land trusts, environmental nonprofits and outdoor clubs. The Trails Bond will support these groups. Over 422,000 Mainers voted for the first ever Trails Bond, showing their representatives that funding for outdoor recreation should be a priority. ~ Lila Weiser, Portland
