This stunning property on the West Branch of the St. Mary’s River supports old-growth Eastern Hemlock and Red Spruce forest, and has a scenic waterfalls cascading over its moss-covered floors. Its extensive, intact shoreline helps to protect habitat for the nationally Threatened Wood Turtle, and the imperilled Atlantic Salmon. The old-growth forest here also hosts a myriad of other specially adapted species, which only thrive in the cool, moist conditions that this aged forest can provide.

The ownership of this property has been transferred to the Province of Nova Scotia, to be designated as a Nature Reserve, the highest form of land protection for provincially-owned lands. The Nature Trust will continue to monitor and care for these lands too.
