Opinion: Trails bond will increase opportunity and improve well-being for Maine youth

BANGOR DAILY NEWS • May 26, 2023

Recently, Teens to Trails hosted more than 160 middle and high school students for a weekend of camping, rafting and hiking in The Forks. The energy was palpable, and all around the campground, laughter and lively conversation could be heard. That is power that the Maine outdoors holds, and more often than not, trails help make these positive experiences possible. A trail is an invitation to adventure and discovery; it sparks excitement and possibility. Teens to Trails has joined with nearly 300 other outdoor recreation organizations, local businesses, and towns in supporting the Maine Trail Bond (LD 1156). ~ Alicia Heyburn, Teens to Trails
