Help Us Build the International Appalachian Trail in Nova Scotia
The Nova Scotia chapter of the International Appalachian Trail is currently looking for self-motivated individuals throughout Nova Scotia to help build this exciting long distance trail route. Our goal is to raise the profile of this project; form community and regional committees in Pictou County, Antigonish County & on Cape Breton Island; recruit volunteers and business partners; prepare maps, trail guides & promotional materials; GPS the existing route and develop new trail.
HALIFAX – Nova Scotians know how beautiful our province is in autumn. Hike Nova Scotia and its partners offer a chance to experience that beauty through a series of guided hikes in September and October.
“Last year’s hikes attracted 175 people to six trails all over the province,” says
Debra Ryan, Hike Nova Scotia President. “This year we expect at least that many. With more and more trails being developed and maintained, hiking is definitely on the rise – and that’s a good thing.”
