Conservation is more than protecting land forever. It’s connecting people to that land and giving them a reason to care. Our vision is a greenway that stretches from the farthest corner of Kennebunkport to the sea. From our annual trail runs to small nature talks and collaborative events, we are always focused on community conservation. Nothing done at the Trust possible without your support. Stay connected. Become a member.
With just four full and two part-time employees and over 3,000 acres of land, 12 harbor islands, 30 miles of trails, a lighthouse, an historic boathouse, school programs, and events throughout the year, volunteers are an essential part of the Trust. We’re able to make a significant impact in our community, all thanks to the passion, energy, and creativity of our volunteers.
