"What could be more vitalizing
to the greater Portland community than a trail
connecting Sebago Lake to Casco Bay? People
will be riding their bikes to work, jogging
with their teams, walking with friends, and
stopping to talk with neighbors. Just imagine!" -- Julie
Isbill, National Park Service Rivers & Trails
"I've heard people talk about
this idea of a trail from Sebago
Lake to Casco Bay for many years.
Finally, we pulled together and
decided it's time to do it. There's
a lot of excitement in the group,
and more people and organizations
are making a contribution than
I ever imagined." -- Will
Plumley, Chair, Presumpscot River
Watershed Coalition
"This is a great collaborative
effort that will give Maine residents and
visitors a wonderful recreational
opportunity." -- Richard
Curtis, Board President, Presumpscot Regional
Land Trust. "Portland Trails has built four miles
of trails on the Presumpscot River in Falmouth,
Portland, and Westbrook-working with such
a great group of partners to extend the trail
upriver is incredibly exciting." -- Nan
Cumming, Executive Director, Portland Trails
"The Sebago to the Sea Trail project is exciting
for many reasons-much of it follows along an
amazing natural resource-the Presumpscot River;
it incorporates some of the most fabulous trails
in southern Maine; and it is a collaborative
that partners representatives from municipal,
non-profit, government and quasi-government
agencies- all for a mutual benefit and purpose." -- Tania
Neuschafer, Sebago to the Sea Trail Project
Coordinator & Manager, Presumpscot Regional
Land Trust
"Healthy Maine Partnerships are committed
to making environmental and policy changes
which support physically active lifestyles.
The Sebago to the Sea Trail will add to our
regional network of trails and provide a place
for people to walk, run, ski or ride bikes
for fun, fitness and transportation. For this
reason, the Cumberland County Healthy Maine
Partnerships support the efforts of the Sebago
to the Sea Coalition." -- James
C. Tasse,
Education Director, Bicycle Coalition of Maine
