The
New Brunswick Trails Council and local trails sponsors are
selling memberships to their organizations at a cost of $20 per
year. This entitles you to newsletters, a lapel pin and discounts
at various retailers around the province.
If you would like to support the volunteer trail movement in New
Brunswick, contact them at 506-459-1931 for further information.

link a state and two provinces and traverse two major watersheds
-- the Gulf of Maine and the Gulf of St. Lawrence."
