Land Trust Support Programs

Adopt-a-Trail

Maintaining our trails throughout the seasons requires a strong corps of stewardship volunteers coordinated by our stewardship staff, as well as significant financial resources. For an annual $1,000 donation, businesses or individuals may adopt a trail on one of our preserves, thereby directly contributing to the stewardship of that preserve. Your sponsorship is recognized on a sign at the trailhead kiosk and through other publicity. Some high visibility trails in need of sponsors include the Beech Hill Preserve Woods Trail, the Fernalds Neck Preserve Trail, the Hatchet Mountain Preserve Trail, the Ducktrap River Preserve Trail, and the Stover Preserve Trail. Please contact our Development Director at (207) 236-7091 or kristenl@coastalmountains.org for more information.

Plaque & Bench Program

Looking for a way to honor someone special in your life for that milestone birthday or with a unique memorial? We offer two opportunities to pay tribute to family, friends, or yourself, or to advertise your business, while also sustaining our conservation work:

For a one-time donation of $3,000 we'll install a permanent bronze plaque on the trailhead kiosk of your choice, with only one plaque allowed per kiosk. Let other hikers know you care!
A one-time donation of $4,000 provides for a rustic stone bench with a small plaque to be sited at a carefully chosen location on one of our preserves. To maintain the natural setting and wild flavor of our preserves, only a few of these benches will be installed overall and are not available on every preserve. This is an ideal way to affirm a personal connection to a special place in a way that helps us protect more places that touch your heart in the western Penobscot Bay region.
