Alex Terry: What It Takes to Steward the Maine Island Trail - Ep 34

Épisode 34

mercredi 26 août 2026 • Durée 54:32

MITA Month continues!

For Episode 34 of the More Than Outdoors Podcast, we're taking you out onto the Maine Island Trail with Alex Terry from the Maine Island Trail Association (MITA).

This episode brings a different perspective than our conversation with MITA Executive Director Ben Dougherty in Episode 33. Instead of focusing on the organization from the top down, we're getting out on the ground to see what stewardship of Maine's wild islands actually looks like.

Alex shares what goes into maintaining and monitoring remote campsites, supporting responsible recreation, working with volunteers, and helping make sure people can experience Maine's coast while respecting the places they're visiting.

It's a conversation about the less-visible side of outdoor recreation: the work that happens behind the scenes to make incredible outdoor experiences possible.

🏝️ What you'll hear:

Alex's role with the Maine Island Trail Association
What stewardship looks like in the field
Caring for remote islands and campsites
Responsible recreation and Leave No Trace
Volunteers and the MITA community
Balancing access with protecting wild places
The challenges of managing remote recreational sites
Why firsthand experiences can create better stewards

If you're curious about what really happens behind the scenes on the Maine Island Trail, this is your chance to get a closer look.

And if you missed Episode 33 with Ben Dougherty, go back and listen to the first installment of MITA Month before diving into this one.

mercredi 12 août 2026 • Durée 51:59

In Episode 33, Austin French and Sam Andrews sit down with Ben Dougherty, Executive Director of the Maine Island Trail Association (MITA), to explore one of Maine's most unique outdoor recreation resources.

The Maine Island Trail is a 375-mile water trail stretching along the coast of Maine, connecting paddlers, boaters, and adventurers with hundreds of island and mainland sites.

But the trail exists because of something much bigger than geography.

MITA has built a network of relationships with private landowners, public landowners, conservation organizations, volunteers, and coastal communities to create recreational access while protecting the places people come to enjoy.

Ben talks about the importance of pairing access with stewardship, MITA's volunteer network, getting young people onto the islands, and the unique opportunity Maine has to connect people with its coastline while protecting these wild places for the future.

What you'll hear:

• The story behind the Maine Island Trail

• How a 375-mile water trail works

• The relationships behind island access

• Stewardship and conservation along the Maine coast

• MITA's volunteer network

• Getting more people connected to Maine's islands
