“Traditional cultures...recognize that human peo

“Traditional cultures...recognize that human people are only one manifestation of intelligence in the living world. Other beings, from Otters to Ash trees, are understood as persons, possessed of their own gifts, responsibilities, and intentions. This is not some kind of mistaken anthropomorphism. Trees are not misconstrued as leaf-wearing humans but respected as unique, sovereign beings equal to or exceeding the power of humans.”

-Robin Wall Kimmerer from her essay “Hearing the Language of Trees”

Welcome to the Adopt-A-Trail family, @tcfcu_maine!

Welcome to the Adopt-A-Trail family, @tcfcu_maine! Their adopted trail is the iconic and popular Presumpscot River Preserve at the Overset Rd trailhead. Along with @martinspointhealthcare and @southworthpodr, their support of this trail is essential to the maintenance and conservation work we do. Check out the trail this winter for one of the loveliest views around of the Presumpscot River! #portlandtrails #presumpscotriver #supportlocal

And that’s (almost) a wrap on 2021! 🎉 We did some incredible things together this year, with plenty more to do in 2022. Here are nine awesome things that happened this year at Portland Trails.

1. We celebrated our 30th anniversary! 🥳 In this photo from 1993, volunteers are installing the bridge over Jewell Falls.
2. We received a grant from the Idexx Foundation to extend the Stroudwater Trail further into Westbrook.
3. We made system-wide trail upgrades, including this leg of the North Deering bicycle byway, that improve access to people-powered transportation.
4. Volunteers were back on the trails, in the office, and at events! How we missed them so in 2020.
5. Lindsay Conrad joined the Portland Trails team as our new development lead, and we’re just as excited as she is in this pic. 😃
6. East Bayside youth volunteers created trail connections in Kennedy Park this fall.
7. City at Your Feet had participants traveling around Portland by foot, bike, and bus for a two-day scavenger hunt.
8. We held Waypoints in September, a new event celebrating the Portland Trails community.
9. Runners and walkers once gain gathered for some festive fun at this year’s Holiday Dash 5K.

Thank you for making all of this possible. If you’d like to contribute to our 2021 Annual Fund, you can donate until midnight tomorrow! Link in bio.

30 years (and counting) of being grateful for you. ❤️ However and whenever our paths crossed, we couldn’t do this work without you. Thank you for helping to create a healthier and better connected community for all.

We also acknowledge that this holiday is rooted in colonization and is a painful day for many of our Wabanaki and other Indigenous neighbors. We invite you to take a few moments to sit with these complicated emotions and read or listen to stories of grief, pain, and healing.

Our annual appeal has begun! 🎉 When you give a new or increased gift to Portland Trails, Trustee Jenny Scheu will match it. That means that for the amount you give, the organization will receive double! Jenny is a local artist, longtime Portland Trails member, and urban trails enthusiast. She’s donating to create a more walkable, bikeable, and healthier future. Help us reach our match goal of $10,000!

This week, we replaced our staff meeting with some team bonding trail work in the Presumpscot River Preserve! 🛠 Jaime and Daniel taught Kara, Lindsay, Alison, & Bailey a thing or two (or a thousand), and we ended up with a beautiful new bridge near the falls. 💪 Swipe to see the process of tearing apart the old bridge and building a new one.

PARK(ing) Day 2021 is almost here! This Friday, we’ll be transforming a parking space on Fox Street into a mini park for the day. Our parklet, along with many others in Portland, will inspire you to rethink how we prioritize public outdoor space. This PARK(ing) Day, we‘ll be engaging with East Bayside as a continuation of the trail building and placemaking work we’ve done in that neighborhood through the years. Stop by our parklet on Friday and say hi!

We hear it’s Fashion Week, so here’s a fashion flashback straight out of 1994! The Portland Trails board, pictured here on the Eastern Prom, was making 90s trends look good the first time around 💁‍♀️ #fashionweek

Did you see this illustration of Virginia Woods in The Forecaster today? It’s the first installment of Tails of the Trails, a collaboration between Portland Trails, @evergreen_credit_union, @animalrefugeleague, and @portlandpressherald! For the next few weeks, we’ll be sharing some trails that both you and your four-legged friend will love 🐶

Happy #NationalDogDay to all the pups out there who smile like this when they’re on the trails! 🐾

Spot the difference 🤔

Digging in the sand might be fun, but the star of the show is our shiny new Canycom (the red piece of machinery)! It was gifted to us by a generous donor earlier this year and has already been put to excellent use. Our trail crew uses it to move heavy materials across uneven terrain, making maintenance & upgrades much easier.

Could there be a more beautiful evening to stumble

Could there be a more beautiful evening to stumble upon a concert in the park? Outdoor spaces are vital places in our neighborhoods - they connect us to our community, to nature, and to each other. And sometimes, they connect us to fun music and beautiful sunsets! Thanks to @friendsofwesternprom for putting on this weekly concert series! #placemaking #musicinthepark

Maybe we’re not great at packing light...but we’re ready for anything!

Events like City at Your Feet are only possible because of our sponsors! Thank you so much to @greaterportlandmetro for providing bus passes for all our participants, and thank you to @portlandgearhub for hosting the festivities in their parking lot. And an enormous thanks to our community sponsors @floatharder, @smrt_ae, @themainemag, and @revisionsolar! 🤗

Woohoo!!! Check out some of the awesome scavenger hunters who participated in City at Your Feet this weekend! We scattered 19 clues throughout Portland and Westbrook, and our participants walked, biked, and rode the bus all over town - no cars allowed. Thanks to everyone who joined in the people-powered fun, including a few families from @learningworksmaine! #cityatyourfeet
