WINTHROP — This past fall, the Kennebec Land Trust renovated two historic cabins at the trust’s Wakefield Wildlife Sanctuary in West Gardiner after being selected by and contracted with “Maine Cabin Masters” for the renovations.
The sanctuary and its newly restored cabins will be featured on an episode of “Maine Cabin Masters” on DIY Channel Monday, Feb. 25.
When landowner Kendra Wakefield Shaw donated her 115-acre family property on Cobbossee Stream to KLT, the bequest included a small fund for the maintenance of her family’s 100 year old cabins. KLT’s cabins will be available to the general public as rentals, with a discount for KLT members.
The cabins also will be used for KLT programming, including future workshops with guest artists and writers. KLT’s hope is that income from the cabin rentals will support future stewardship of the Wakefield Wildlife Sanctuary and cabin maintenance.
There will be a gathering that day to celebrate the Shaw legacy and KLT’s new cabins at The Depot Sports Pub, 14 Maine Ave.; the episode airs at 9 p.m., and the event is open to the public.
