KELT is helping people and nature to prepare for the serious challenges brought on by our changing climate such as warmer temperatures, more extreme storms, drought, less snow, coastal storm surges, and sea level rise. By approaching these formidable challenges with local projects and partnerships, KELT aims to be a reliable climate change resource for you and your neighbors. We want to make climate change understandable and offer practical actions to make our midcoast Maine communities resilient to present and future changes. What is KELT doing now?
“We could work together, not let the water rise
Make a very good plan, yes, that would be wise.”
Recording observations and documenting how plants and animals are changing along with their environments.
Conserving the places that plants, wildlife, and people need to thrive and to move within as conditions change.
Conservation and restoration projects to get carbon out of the atmosphere and to help control flood waters.
Creating local programs and supporting initiatives to give folks information about the changing climate and how to best prepare.
Getting outside on trails is a great way to learn more about our region and connect with the natural world. With the help of many partners, KELT is working to provide more trails for people of all ages to explore.

KELT is working with many others to create a thirty two mile regional rail-with-trail from Topsham through Bowdoinham and Richmond to Gardiner.
In partnership with the newly formed Six Rivers Chapter of the New England Mountain Bike Association (NEMBA), we are working to provide more mountain bike friendly trails.
Explore not only KELT's trails, but the wide variety of trails available in the Bath Area that have great scenery and wildlife watching, as part of this local collaboration.
