Wilderness Survival Guide 79 ANNAPOLIS COUNTY GROUND SEARCH AND RESCUE On an autumn day in 1976, in West Dalhousie, Nova Scotia, three children were picking apples off a neighbor's tree. When she hollered at them, they ran into the woods and became lost. The community launched a search for them and they were fortunately found safe and sound the next day. As a result of this event, these community members decided to form a Search and Rescue Team so they could be better prepared in the future. Forty-six years later, Annapolis County Ground Search and Rescue is still responding to searches for missing persons. We also present preventative programs to all ages, including Adventure Smart Hug-aTree program to young children. As well, we have partnered with Project Lifesaver - an organization that tracks vulnerable people such as those with dementia or autism. We also assist with civil emergencies and community events in Annapolis County. To learn more about our team or to contact us, visit www.acgsar.ca.
