You have the power to save nature.

When you support the Nature Trust with your donation, you are helping to save Nova Scotia’s most important and treasured natural areas, from our last remaining old growth forests to critical habitat for endangered species. You become part of a tradition of concern, caring and generosity that has always been at the foundation of the Nature Trust’s conservation efforts. There are many ways you can donate to the Nature Trust; we invite you to choose the method most convenient for you.

Invest in our Endowments

Endowment funds provide a steady stream of income to save and steward land and enable the work of the organization to continue. The capital you donate to an endowment fund remains untouched, and only a percentage of the income is withdrawn each year.
