LEWISTON — The Androscoggin Land Trust will hold its annual meeting Tuesday, Dec. 7, at Museum L-A and unveil its plans to erect signs for access points.

The annual meeting is an opportunity to highlight goals accomplished in the last year, elect officers and feature a speaker or workshop of interest to members, said Jonathan LaBonte of the Androscoggin Land Trust/LA Trails.

Tuesday’s feature program will be a workshop led by Bob White of ORW Landscape Architects and Planners in Vermont, a firm hired to lead development plans for signs in the Androscoggin River corridor from Dixfield through Lisbon.

Through a grant from the National Park Service and the Rails to Trails Conservancy, ALT has hired ORW Landscape Architects to come up with a plan to brand both the cultural history and recreational assets along the river.

The signs will help people find their way to get to all kinds of river points, trails and parking.

White’s company will develop a plan on where the signs should go, what they’ll look like, and what kind of signs are needed. White came to the area last month.

“He’ll be sharing his initial thoughts and getting feedback,” LaBonte said.

The signs will not only help identify, direct and brand natural assets, some will offer history. There’ll be kiosk-style signs telling the history of water power in Lewiston-Auburn. But plans need to be developed on where they’ll go.

“We wouldn’t want to have one of those at every boat access,” LaBonte said. A big goal is to attract residents and visitors to the area’s natural resources, and to highlight what, and where, they are. Part of the plan is to invite corporate sponsorship of some signs, he said.

The annual meeting will also celebrate work achieved since the land trust was first talked about around kitchen tables in Turner in the 1980s, LaBonte said. Since then ALT has evolved into a force for land conservation serving 19 towns in the Androscoggin River watershed.

With some 4,000 acres of land conserved, including nine miles of frontage along the river, ALT’s programs have diversified, promoting outdoor recreational experiences and seasonal outings.

The annual meeting is free and open to the public. Museum L-A is at 35 Canal St., Lewiston, in the Bates Mill complex.
