The Seawall Trail Society is responsible for the development of the Seawall Trail. The Society - a registered non profit - was formed in 2014 with the goal to develop Northern Cape Breton's (Unama’kik) natural walking assets and to create a product that would support both locals and visitors from around the world. In addition to attracting hikers, the Society believes that the trail has great potential as a sustainable economic engine in rural Nova Scotia.
The Society is comprised of a diverse group of members who are passionate about nature, exploring, hiking and grassroots community development.
