Join Coastal Mountains Land Trust and Maine Health’s Community Health program, Thursday, April 2, at 10 a.m., for a Happy Wanderers Hike at the Mill Brook Preserve in Searsport. This walk is at Coastal Mountains’ first Learning Landscape.

The group will park behind the Searsport High School and walk from the school to Millbrook Preserve, following the route students take for outdoor learning excursions.  

"This is a primarily flat, two-mile out-and-back trail that features Mill Brook and a beautiful bridge, which serves as a destination point for students when they are participating in outdoor learning excursions," said Coastal Mountains, in a news release.

Directions: Turn onto Church Street in Searsport from route one and follow it to the end, where you’ll meet CMLT and Community Health staff. They will be directing parking and will guide you to the trail.  

"Parking is limited, so please carpool," said CMLT.

Bring: water, hiking boots/shoes (trail can be wet and muddy), warm layers.
