Summary of Projects

First developed as part of a visioning session of the Presumpscot River Watershed Coalition, the Sebago to the Sea Trail idea had been percolating for years among group members. Since 2007, the Presumpscot Regional Land Trust agreed to facilitate this project and convened a group process - establishing the Sebago to the Sea Coalition. The primary purpose of the Sebago to the Sea Coalition is to establish trail connectivity. PRLT received a grant in 2009 to fund part of public outreach component of Phase Three of the Sebago to the Sea Trail project.
