Founded in 1876, the Appalachian Mountain Club promotes the protection, enjoyment, and understanding of the mountains, forests, waters, and trails of America’s Northeast and Mid-Atlantic regions. We believe these resources have intrinsic worth and also provide recreational opportunities, spiritual renewal, and ecological and economic health for the region. Because successful conservation depends on active engagement with the outdoors, we encourage people to experience, learn about, and appreciate the natural world.

To foster wise use of the Cathance River Nature Preserve; to deepen ecological awareness through nature-based learning among students, educators, and the public; and to promote environmental stewardship.

Formerly Maine Handicapped Skiing, Maine Adaptive Sports & Recreation (Maine Adaptive) is a 501(c)(3) organization whose mission is to promote year-round education and training for individuals with disabilities in order to develop skills, enhance independence, and provide enjoyment through active recreation.

We are people in Greater Portland who want to give the gift of bicycling – or adaptive tricycling – to people with significant disabilities who, until now, could only dream of going for a ride. We are a new nonprofit, now in our sixth year, with a Board of Directors, a Council of Advisors, and scores of volunteers and donors. What we have in common: we all know the fun and exquisite thrill of riding a bike, and want to give this experience to those, young and old, who cannot ride on their own.
