Loon Echo publishes a new Preserve and Trail Information booklet

Bridgton, ME (June 26, 2017) – Loon Echo Land Trust announced today, the publication of a new 16-page Preserve and Trail Information booklet, highlighting the recreational opportunities at each of its nine preserves. The preserves are spread across Loon Echo’s service area, encompassing towns from Harrison to Raymond and also includes: Denmark, Bridgton, Sebago, Casco, and Naples. The new booklet contains information about all of Loon Echo’s preserves and trails and will replace individual preserve information brochures. It includes maps and descriptions as well as resources for additional information.

“It’s designed to not only provide great recreational information about each preserve, but to let readers know, in one publication, about the many other opportunities that Loon Echo offers,” commented Thomas Perkins, Loon Echo’s Executive Director.

The Preserve and Trail Information booklets are available at trail-heads, the Sebago Lakes Region and Greater Bridgton Lakes Region Chambers of Commerce, the Portland Water District and local businesses, as well as at the Loon Echo office at 8 Depot Street in Bridgton, Maine.

Production of the full-color booklet was supported by Wyonegonic and Winona Camps on Moose Pond and Chalmers Insurance Group.

Preserves in the brochure include iconic Pleasant Mountain, Hacker’s Hill, Mayberry Hill, Bald Pate, Perley Pond-Northwest River, Raymond Community Forest, Sebago Headwaters and Sylvan Woods.
