Throughout the year the Nature Trust offers opportunities to explore and connect with nature on our conservation lands across the province.
Upcoming Events
The events on this page are open to the public. We look forward to seeing you!
Margaree Celebration
October 19
Earlier this summer we were very excited to share the news that the Nature Trust had saved our first ever conservation lands in the beautiful Margaree Watershed, creating the potential for a new area of conservation focus.
We are thrilled to announce that we are collaborating with friends from the Margaree Salmon Association and Atlantic Salmon Federation to offer a one-of-kind opportunity to learn more about conservation in and near the Margaree. We will learn more about the unique habitat and wonders of the area—and salmon, of course—that make this storied area, well, storied.
Join us for an Open House followed by guided walks along the Margaree River.
Saturday Oct 19th. 9:30-1:30
Open House at the Margaree Fireman’s Club
7811 Cabot Trail, Margaree Forks, NS B0E 2A0
Details are still being finalized, but more information and registration will be posted here as soon as possible. Space will be limited, so in the meantime please contact Cynthia at cynthia@nsnt.ca to indicate your interest and we’ll follow up shortly with more details!
Connect with nature virtually
While we love to host events out in nature, we also sometimes host them online. Here are a few recorded webinars that you may be interested in!
ECOLOGICAL LANDSCAPING
WITH ROSMARIE LOHNES OF HELPING NATURE HEAL
Join Rosmarie Lohnes of Helping Nature Heal as she discusses practical ways to make your garden more ecologically friendly. Rosmarie recently 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!
COASTAL ISLANDS & BIRD CONSERVATION
A PANEL DISCUSSION
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.
