Trans Canada Trail has awarded $41,000 to community groups in Nova Scotia as part of the national organization’s Trail Care Grant Program.
Part of the money will go to three local projects.
There’s support to the Guysborough Nature Trail for repairing guardrails and clearing overgrowth. Inverness County’s Celtic Shores Coastal Trail will receive funding for maintenance and clean-up in advance of June’s Big Ride fundraiser.
