The Nova Scotia Nature Trust invites you to join us August 10 for a Cape Breton Land Conservation and Success Showcase, highlighting our newest property in the Mabou Highlands! The Nature Trust’s conservation lands boast spectacular landscapes, which include a wide array of natural habitats from old-growth forests to bogs to pristine coastline! The Nature Trust is thrilled to offer this opportunity to share our achievements with all of our friends and supporters in Cape Breton!

The Nova Scotia Nature Trust would like to invite the public to the Crow Neck Conservation Lands Property Celebration on August 6 in Baccaro, N.S.

The Nature Trust and Bird Studies Canada will kick off the day with a land announcement at 10:30 a.m., followed by a guided walk of the property, lunch and a cleanup of the ponds and woods along Crow Neck Beach.

Comprised of 9 acres of untouched beach and shore frontage, this beautiful 33 acre property is a prime example of the immeasurable value in protecting Nova Scotia’s coastline. Providing critical habitat for nationally endangered piping plovers this shore is also highly significant for migratory birds.

At 6:30pm there will be a reception including coffee/tea and snacks.

At 7pm the fun will get underway! There will be a land annoucement, success showcase, volunteer appreciation, private viewing of the Museum of Natural History's new exhibit and a celebration of Nova Scotia's forests!
