The Nova Scotia Trails Federation is an umbrella group representing a wide range of trail users throughout the province. Our primary purpose is to promote the development and wise use of trails for the benefit of Nova Scotians and visitors. Federate membership in NSTF is comprised of the founding organizations and any other association of trail users admitted by the Board of Directors.
Associate memberships are available to individuals, organizations, families and others.
The establishment of trails, pathways, greenways, and other corridors for outdoor recreation is one of the fastest growing trends in North America. Established in 1990, NSTF has an office with an Executive Director and is busy responding to increasing demands for information on trails and related topics. With more than 200,000 Nova Scotians using trails, we can provide a medium for channeling communications, ideas, queries and information between all parties involved in trail use, construction, administration and regulation. To this end, we are establishing a resource base, including a databank of trails, contacts and information on all aspects of trails.
