Blanche Peninsula: A Landmark Achievement for Coastal Conservation

Thanks to an incredible outpouring of support for Nova Scotia’s beloved coast, we are proud to announce the success of the most ambitious project in our thirty-year Nature Trust history – and the largest acquisition of privately owned coastline in Nova Scotia.

Archibald Brook, protected forever!

A generous donation has extended the iconic "ribbon of green" along the St. Mary's River, with 640 acres adjacent to the Archibald Lake Wilderness Area now protected.

Extraordinary Coastal Conservation Wins bring Hope for the Coast

03 Sep 2024

We are proud to announce the largest acquisition of privately owned coastline in the province’s history: the successful purchase of Cape Negro Island, one of the province’s largest coastal islands, and a deal to acquire the adjacent Blanche Peninsula, the best remaining coastal wilderness opportunity of its size in the province. With your help, we will add almost 2,556 acres to Nova Scotia’s coastal legacy.

Barren Island is anything but!

03 Sep 2024

At 758 acres, Barren Island is one of the Nature Trust's largest protected lands to date. And although it may be called "Barren," it holds an impressive array of coastal habitats that are teeming with life - and with hope for the future of our coast.

01 Sep 2024

When Jesse Milani arrived in Nova Scotia in 2023, he immediately looked for ways to connect his self-proclaimed "tree nerd" passion for forestry with Nova Scotia’s own unique forest. He was delighted to find the Nature Trust’s Property Guardians program, where could put his fieldwork experience and expertise to good use.
