During July – October, the Nature Trust will be partnering with Coastal Action again to conduct shoreline cleanups on many of the Nature Trust’s Conservation Lands!

Cleanups are currently planned for:
John’s Island
Goose Point
Pease’s Island
Spectacle Island
Cape LaHave Island
Cape Negro Island

Please note that specific dates are dependent on weather and captain availability.

For the most current list of dates, please visit Coastal Action’s Events page.

For more than 30 years, the Nature Trust has worked with wonderful partners in Cape Breton: land owners, other conservation organizations, donors, funders and friends, and together we have protected incredible wild places across the Island.

We’re coming to the Island to celebrate conservation, including all that we’ve been able to achieve here thanks to your support! We’re hosting a celebration & reception on August 6 and a guided hike on August 8 – and we hope that you can join us for at least one of them.

Note that these events are free, but registration is required for planning/capacity purposes.

Join Rosmarie Lohnes of Helping Nature Heal as she discusses practical ways to make your garden more ecologically friendly. Rosmarie transformed the garden at Nature’s House (the Nature Trust’s office) from a water-intensive, ornamental urban garden into an oasis for native biodiversity. Learn more about the process and start dreaming about your own garden transformation!

The Nature Trust has been hard at work protecting coastal islands with some major wins over the last two years – like 650 acres of “the wondrous foggy isle”, Seal Island. Join Conservation Project Coordinator Jessica Bradford and conservation partners Rielle Hoeg (Acadia University), Nick Knutson (MTRI/Universite Sainte Anne/Acadia University) and John Kearney (Nova Scotia Bird Society) for a panel discussion focusing on the protection of coastal islands, a critical piece of the conservation puzzle for our avian friends.
