Instagram post 2222901996192000709_1271971802 No parking bans here! What’s your favorite trail to explore after a snowstorm? #portlandtrails #portlandmaine #urbannature #traillife #getoutside #wintertrail #snowshoeing
Instagram post 2222162693287275708_1271971802 Winter is a great time for our trail steward, Daniel, to focus on invasive plants on the trails. Now that the busy field season is over, he can devote lots of time to surveying & mapping invasives and developing a plan to manage them throughout the year. Plus, he gets to enjoy views like this faraway glimpse of Jewel Falls. #portlandtrails #portlandmaine #conservation #invasiveplants #trailstewardship #winterviews

Instagram post 2182872416525707140_1271971802 Last month, we partnered with @cultivatingcommunitymaine and @resiliencehub for one of our placemaking mini-grant projects! Together, we organized a community workday at the Boyd Street Community Farm. Over the course of the day with help from friends and neighbors, we built an extra-large picnic table for group meals (like the one in the first picture), built and installed several cedar benches around the garden area, helped build raised garden beds, and improved a very well-used path through the garden to connect East and West Bayside. If you swipe, you can see a few of our hard workers from the day, including some helpful kiddos who proved you’re never too young to pick up a rake! #portlandtrails #portlandmaine #communityfarm #communitygarden #trailwork #communitybuilding #placemaking
