Donate
The trails are built and maintained entirely by volunteers and through volunteer-led fundraising. The work is coordinated by the volunteer board members of the Crowbar Lake Wilderness Association.
Funding to build and maintain the Crowbar Lake Trail network is provided through charitable donations by people like you who enjoy and appreciate the trails, through community fundraising, and through grants (foundation, Municipal, Provincial and Federal grants).
Donate today to help build and maintain the Crowbar Lake Trails, ensuring they are there for future generations to enjoy. You can even receive a charitable tax receipt for your donation.
To receive a charitable tax receipt for your donation, please make your gift through Nova Scotia Trails (Be sure to specify your donation to Crowbar Lake Trails.)
The Crowbar Lake Wilderness Association is a Registered Non-profit Society. Nova Scotia Trails keeps a 10% administration fee for all donations, which is used to promote trails and to support trail groups in Nova Scotia. The remaining 90% of your donation goes directly to support the Crowbar Lake Trails.
