Hello Friends!
Welcome
to our first-ever Teens To Trails eNewsletter! We use this opportunity
to thank all the many people across Maine who have encouraged &

available and eager to engage teenagers in the Maine outdoors." Save the date for our spring Conference '08.

under the direction of Capt. Chuck Benton. The Outing Club was treated
to this experience after having won the Grand Prize Raffle for outing
clubs who participated in our T3 Conference '07 last spring.

Teens trim new trail
 Teens
To Trails and Maine Huts & Trails partnered to offer a fall work
trip for teen Outing Clubs. Gathering in Kingfield, we learned basic
trail building & safety techniques along with an introduction to
MH&T's plans for a 180-mile recreational corridor from the

finishing touches on newly cleared trail. With fall colors galore, it
was a great reason to get outside and get our hands dirty.
