The Brunswick-Topsham Land Trust and Maine Coast Heritage Trust and are fundraising to create a level, half-mile trail at Brunswick’s popular Woodward Point Preserve. Join the effort and make a gift today—every dollar supports making this beautiful preserve more accessible to everyone in our community!
We want community members of all abilities to enjoy the beauty of Woodward Point.
Our goal is to build an accessible trail and parking to facilitate access for all visitors, including people who need a level surface to walk, use a wheelchair, or push a stroller.
To do this we need to raise $132,000.
Trails create active, healthy, and happy communities. Everyone deserves the enjoyment of this special place!
How this place became open to the public
Maine Coast Heritage Trust and Brunswick-Topsham Land Trust conserved Woodward Point in 2019, realizing the previous landowners’ dream of permanent protection for the property’s open space, scenic beauty, and extensive ecological values.
Woodward Point is a much-loved outdoor resource
Just minutes from downtown Brunswick, Woodward Point is a cherished destination for walking, nature observation, kayaking, cross-country skiing and snowshoeing. Trails cut across several large fields, through woods, and down to the shore. Stone steps at four locations provide access to the water—including at a hand-carry boat launch site not far from the parking lot.
When you give today you will help:
- Establish a level, half-mile accessible trail with a stone dust surface;
- Make Woodward Point safe and accessible to more people;
- Expand local outdoor opportunities for people of all abilities.
Thank you for considering a gift to help us enhance this community preserve!
