MAINE ISLAND TRAIL ASSOCIATION

The Maine Island Trail Association is a membership organization dedicated to the protection and enjoyment of the wild islands of coastal Maine. Founded in 1988 to administer the newly established Maine Island Trail, MITA’s founding belief is that people who love to recreate on the islands can be successfully encouraged to play a role in the stewardship of these fragile and treasured places. MITA’s multi-decade success with this is evidenced by the fact that islands on the Trail are often healthier environments than islands that are entirely left alone.
