To raise critical funds and promote their organizational mission, the Northern Forest Canoe Trail (NFCT) is hosting a first-of-a-kind online auction from Nov. 1-Dec. 9, 2005. Ideal for holiday shopping or picking up gear for next summer’s vacation, the NFCT auction will feature a unique collection of items including canoes, paddles, paddling accessories, lodging packages, guided trips, local products, regional books and artwork, and more. All proceeds from the auction will directly support the NFCT mission: celebrating the rich human heritage and diverse natural environment of the Northern Forest by establishing and stewarding a water trail tracing historic Native American travel routes across New York, Vermont, Québec, New Hampshire, and Maine. “We’re excited to launch this fundraising effort, as it benefits our friends, our partners and our supporters, while also supporting the mission of the trail,” said NFCT Executive Director Kate Williams. To participate in the auction, online users simply need to visit the NFCT web auction page at http://www.TheCanoeTrailAuction.cmarket.com between Nov. 1 and Dec. 9, 2005.
