Are you looking for an opportunity to help care for nature? Join us for a day of trail maintenance at the Nature Conservancy of Canada’s (NCC’s) Gaff Point Nature Reserve.
Located on Nova Scotia's popular South Shore, Gaff Point is a headland of impressive cliffs, conifer forest, heaths and grasslands. Gaff Point is stewarded in partnership with the Kingsburg Coastal Conservancy, a local land trust. The 3.5-kilometre-long trail that runs through Gaff Point is well-loved all across the province.
At this day-long event, we will work together to restore areas of the trail that are a little worse for wear. This will help protect the natural features of the coastal trail and promote user enjoyment and safety. Come with your energy and elbow grease!
Pre-registration for this event is required.
