Trail Mixers are LGBTQIA+-centered outdoor gatherings that celebrate community and the joy of being out in nature. Light, rotating conversation starters invite participants to “mix it up” and chat with someone new as they walk, sparking fun and meaningful connections on the trails.

Queer/LGBTQIA+ folks (and allies) of all ages and backgrounds are welcome to attend, connect with one another, and spend time outside!

Some things to keep in mind:

• Please plan to arrive 5-10 minutes early! We will be leaving for our walk from the trailhead on time and we may not be able to respond to messages if you are late and trying to catch up to us.

• We highly encourage carpooling!

Bringing some kiddos? Great! Please make sure they (and you!) are dressed for the weather and terrain, and that any children under the age of 16 stay within arm’s reach of a guardian at all times during the walk.

Bringing a camera? Fantastic! Just make sure you have consent if taking photos of other people.

Trail Mixers are our most popular and most frequent program! Trail Mixers began in 2022 through an intentional collaboration between Brunswick-Topsham Land Trust's Lydia Coburn and Queerly ME's Kyle Warnock. Since then, hundreds of LGBTQIA+ community members have found connection with nature and one another on these seasonal walks at various Brunswick-Topsham area properties. We're delighted that the Trail Mixer model has now expanded to other partnerships and natural spaces across Maine.
