Hickson Trail Committee
The Hickson Trail Committee was a committee of volunteers formed under the guidance of the Township of East Zorra-Tavistock. Through their efforts, the Committee was able to fundraise and make significant improvements to the functionality of the trail.
Their work included installing two bridges for two creek crossings on North Section of the trail, clearing and leveling the trail base, ditching and installing drainage, and clearing overgrowth.
