Land Trust celebrates milestone for signature preservation effort

COASTAL JOURNAL • OCTOBER 28, 2020

The city of Bath and the Kennebec Estuary Land Trust are celebrating the 10th anniversary of the Whiskeag Trail. The 5-mile-long, multi-use trail in the north end of Bath crosses forested lands owned the city and the trust. The trail connects local landmarks such as the YMCA, McMann playing fields, Bath Middle School, Oak Grove Cemetery and the conservation land at Sewall Woods and Thorne Head Preserves. Bath’s Director of Parks and Recreation, Steve Balboni, one of the key leaders in creating the trail in 2010, said, “It has been amazing to watch the usage grow over the last 10 years.”
