Volunteers, including Butch Guitard, David Bishop, and Ken Clarke, have been busy working on improvements to the South Shore Annapolis Trail, especially where it goes through Nictaux. It’s been widened where needed, graded, and repairs are being made to culverts and signs as necessary. Crusher dust is being put down, and it’s hope that after a good rain the crusher dust will set to create a dust-free surface. The trail goes from Middleton to just past New Germany.
