WINTHROP — The Kennebec Land Trust will be supported by the Hannaford Helps Reusable Bag Program for the month of April.
The program is designed to make it easy for customers to contribute to their local community while supporting the environment.
For the month of April, each time a reusable Community Bag is bought at the Winthrop Hannaford, $1 will be donated to the land trust.
The trust also announced that the Parker Pond Headland Preserve in Fayette will be closed to hikers until April 30. Fellows Cove Road is only open to homeowners during this time to minimize impact to the road during mud season. The trust also urges hikers to walk carefully and minimize travel on wet and muddy trails until trail surfaces have had a chance to dry and harden.
The trust, based in Winthrop, works with landowners and communities to conserve the forests, shorelands, fields and wildlife in towns throughout central Maine. KLT protects land permanently, offers opportunities for people to learn about and enjoy the natural world, and works with partners to support sustainable forestry and farming. It has concerved 6,262 acres and has built and maintains 47 miles of trails.
