Groups Seek Volunteers For Maintenance Work At Gaff Point

A pair of conservation groups are doing some maintenance work to the Gaff Point trail in Lunenburg County and are looking for some extra help. The Nature Conservancy of Canada, along with the Kingsburg Coastal Conservancy are in need of volunteers to cut extra brush, put in boardwalks where water has collected and move trail boundaries where cliffs are starting to erode. The work will be done to roughly one kilometre of the three-and-a-half kilometre trail. A coordinator with the NCC, Doug van Hemessen, says it's routine work that's done every year.
