Trail Passports
The new MLT Trail Passport program debuted during the summer of 2023. The Trail Passport is meant for children to complete with the help of a parent or guardian. Here’s how it works:
- Pick up your free Trail Passport booklet from the Children’s Section desk at the Mattapoisett Free Public Library
- Read through your booklet, review the instructions in the booklet, and look at all of the maps of MLT trails
- Pick a trail to start with. Bring a pencil/crayon and your water and hike to the ‘stamp stations’ located along the trails. *The stamp stations are shown on the maps inside your booklet!
- When you find a ‘stamp station’ use your pencil/crayon to make a rubbing of the stamp inside your Trail Passport
- Collect all 11 stamps!
- Once you’ve collected them all, tell us! When you show us your completed Trail Passport you will earn yourself a $10 giftcard to the Oxford Creamery in Mattapoisett!
