This project reflects construction of segments <br />of the Mountains -to -Sea Trail during 2019 and beyond, as lands are acquired and segments connected. A master plan process would be initiated in 2014, prior to any trail <br />construction, to specifically identify the trail location and develop a plan for implementation and operation. Lands would be acquired (voluntarily) using the Lands Legacy <br />Program Funds. (Note: The Seven Mile Creek Preserve portion includes a segment of the MST, and that trail segment is part of the Upper Eno Nature Preserve project). <br />53 <br />
