MAINE PUBLIC • June 20, 2025
From ATV riders to mountain bikers, hikers and horseback riders, joggers and walkers, Maine trails cater to all types. We’ll discuss the state of the state’s trails, including how communities can apply for a piece of the $30 million in funding signed into law last year. Some Maine communities are building their economic development plans around existing or new trails, the grant process, and the importance of maintaining existing trails. Panelists: Erin Amadon, Town 4 Trail Services; Douglas Beck, Land & Water Conservation Fund. VIP Callers:Kristina Cannon, Main Street Skowhegan; Brian Threlkeld, Maine Outdoor Brands; Aimee Vlachos, University of New England College of Business.
