Projects of the Wilderness Committee

Public Land Conservation

Public Land is also referred to as Crown Land, and as the name 'Public' suggests, it is land owned by the citizens of Nova Scotia and held in trust by the government. It belongs to all of us equally. It belongs to every man, woman and child in the province. Together we own almost 15,000 square kilometres of land in Nova Scotia, which translates into a little more than three and a half acres of land per person.  Find out more at the Public Land Coalition's website.

 

Ecologically Responsible Forestry

A revitalized Acadian forest supports Nova Scotian jobs, tourism, and a healthy environment. Its streams run clear, cold and clean. Its unique mix of trees of different sizes, ages and species resists disease, budworms and hurricanes, and provides a rich, diverse habitat for flying squirrels, moose, owls, orchids.
