Trail by Trail, a More Accessible Maine

Dear Lynne,

In case you missed it! I wanted to give you a look inside one of my favorite stories from our 2022 newsletter— it’s a story about Accessibility Ambassador, Enock Glidden.

Enock Glidden grew up in Patten, Maine, in a log cabin built by family and friends, surrounded by horses and many acres of woods. He spent countless hours among the trees, pushing his wheelchair as far as it could go, then getting out of it and crawling, dragging his wheelchair behind him. “I’ve always loved adventure, is what it boils down to,” says Enock.

This love of adventure has brought him all over the country, including to the top of El Capitan, a towering granite rock formation in Yosemite National Park he climbed in 2016. He also enjoys less extreme outdoor adventures through his work as Maine Trail Finder’s Accessibility Ambassador.

Enock, who was born with spina bifida and has been using a wheelchair since age four, has spent the past year visiting and assessing the accessibility of trails around the state, many owned and maintained by land trusts.

Read the full story about how Enock’s making a difference for land conservation organizations across the state.
