The Maine Island Trail Association (MITA) is a nonprofit organization that manages the 250 island and mainland sites of the Maine Island Trail, stretching from Kittery to Cobscook Bay. Since its establishment in 1988, MITA has been dedicated to protecting and preserving these unique ecosystems, promoting responsible access, and fostering environmental stewardship. With the help of its passionate community, MITA works towards ensuring sustainable and equitable island access, organizing island cleanups, work days, and other events to engage volunteers in coastal stewardship.
Through membership, individuals can support MITA's mission and gain access to valuable resources such as the Maine Island Trail Guide, which provides detailed descriptions of every site on the Trail, best practices, and usage guidelines. Additionally, MITA offers an app that allows members to carry in-depth information, Trail maps, photo galleries, and access alerts on their mobile devices. Donations of seaworthy watercraft are also accepted to generate funding for MITA's programming. By shopping at the MITA Gear Shop, individuals can express their love for the Maine Island Trail while contributing to the organization's stewardship and access efforts.
