The reason most people love Maine is our great outdoors. Being amidst the ocean air and rolling farmland is a big reason Julia and I are devoted to Scarborough. We cherish its special landscape and every year, we sponsor a farm-to-table fundraising dinner for the Scarborough Land Trust. While trying to stay safe, sane and active in this pandemic, we have never valued our free, open spaces so much. If you live in southern Maine and are looking for a new stroll, we have a few recommendations. We are grateful for the work of SLT to preserve this land for everyone. We love where we live.
