Picnic Shelters
Oct 24, 2026
Dear supporter of the trails,
We would like to take this opportunity to thank you, once again, for your continued support of the trail. As you know, the maintenance of the Musquodoboit Rail Trail and its connected wilderness trails are managed entirely by volunteers.
There are always ongoing maintenance projects on the trails, including repairs to trail edges, removal of downed and dangerously hung up trees, updating barriers, and as of 2026, installing new accessible benches on the rail trail as part of our commitment to inclusivity and our new Memorial Bench Program.
Some repair and maintenance projects are funded by Halifax (HRM), the Trans Canada Trail (TCT), and the Province of NS. However, ongoing trail maintenance costs, such for mowing, trimming, brush cutting, are not eligible for reimbursement.
This is where you come in. Day-to-day expenses are funded by memberships, donations and facility sponsors like you.
Without this support there would be no trail.
With this in mind, please continue your support of the trails with your donation:
_____ @ $200.00 per picnic shelter
_____ @ Additional donation
Total $ ___________
With our thanks,
Musquodoboit Trailways Association
P.O. Box 336, Musquodoboit Harbour
Nova Scotia, B0J 2L0
