PORTLAND PRESS HERALD • February 17, 2026
The Kennebunk Land Trust is undertaking a project to improve accessibility throughout its trail system, seeking to open its pathways to more people. The work — which began last year and is still ongoing — includes making trails wider to allow easier access by people using wheelchairs, improving signage and parking areas, and sharing clearer information about trails’ layouts and difficulty. The physical work of widening trails has begun with a new Alewive Woods Preserve trail, which the land trust describes as its crown jewel. The organization hopes to expand the effort to its other 13 preserves in the future.
