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!
Crow Neck Beach Clean Up
March 8, 2026
On March 8th, Scotian Shores will be leading a shoreline clean up at Crow Neck Beach, which is protected by the province of Nova Scotia in partnership with Nova Scotia Nature Trust. This spectacular beach supports critical habitat for the endangered Piping Plover. Please join us in helping to remove garbage and debris from the area before they return from migration!

Mark your calendar for a celebration of conservation momentum on Friday May 22 at Alderney Landing in Dartmouth. It’s not only the date for this year’s Nature Trust showcase, but it’s also the International Day for Biological Diversity – we look forward to making inspiring connections. More details coming soon!
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 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.
