This property provides access to the glorious Crows Neck Beach, which supports nesting habitat for the endangered Piping Plover. At the time of the site’s protection, it was home to a significant number of breeding pairs of Piping Plover. With natural beauty, comes responsibility to keep wildlife wild. A documented threat to Piping Plovers while nesting on Nova Scotia beaches is dogs off leash scaring plovers off their nest. Please keep your dog(s) on leash at this beach, and please walk on the wet portion of the sand beach, while visiting this beach in the Piping Plover breeding season (May to August). The western portion of the property is part of a large, mature Black Spruce and Sphagnum bog that extends across the headland, and the eastern portion contains cobble and sandy beaches, grass covered sand dunes, and a small forested area. The fresh water ponds complete the diversity of habitats at this site, which is part of the South Shore Roseway – Baccaro Important Bird Area.

The property’s ownership has since be transferred to the Province, with the provision that it be protected as a Nature Reserve, and will also be protected through a conservation easement between the Nature Trust and the Province.
