PORTLAND, Maine (AP) — Conservationists in Maine want lawmakers to ask voters whether to approve millions of dollars in improvements to the state’s beloved outdoor trail network. Maine has long been a destination for hikers, cyclists and other outdoor adventurers, and the state has more than 14,000 miles of snowmobile trails alone.

A coalition of more than 500 organizations, businesses and towns in the state has rallied for the proposal to go to voters.
