We are a nonprofit, all-volunteer organization. Our goal is to acquire permanent public access to recreational hiking trails in the Saco Bay area. We work with private landowners, community and commercial organizations and government agencies. We are governed by a 12-member board of trustees and rely on volunteers for trail maintenance and administrative duties.
