This will be a challenging hike up one of Maine’s highest mountains and it will take all day to complete.  The land trust’s conservation easement area is spectacular alpine terrain and most of the work for the introduction will take place there.  This free hike a good opportunity for students, recent graduates or those interested in land trust work to learn more about land trust work in the field.
