Coalition partners are continuously engaged in a variety
of on-the-ground projects to implement recommendations and action items
from the Presumpscot River Management Plan. We
welcome the opportunity to collaborate on initiatives that affect the
health of the river and the watershed and that help inform decision making.
A summary of recent projects is provided below.

Sebago to the Sea Initiative - PRWC discussions in 2007 & 2008 led to the development of the Sebago to the Sea initiative, a multi-year effort now coordinated by the Presumpscot Regional Land Trust. The project goal is to establish a contiguous recreational trail from Sebago Lake to Casco Bay connecting trails in Standish, Windham, Gorham, Westbrook, Portland and Falmouth. |
