Support the NMCT Capital Campaign
Northern Maine Community Trails is a community effort to preserve and care for the trail system many people know as the Nordic Heritage Center.
Our goal is to raise $1.7 million over two years to secure the property, maintain the trails, and support year-round outdoor programs in Presque Isle.
These trails have long been part of our outdoor life in Aroostook County. Families come here to ski, bike, hike, and enjoy the woods in every season.
Your support helps keep this place open, welcoming, and cared for for generations to come.
As a thank you, every donor will receive a 2026 NMCT membership.
