Major Announcement

It is with great pleasure that we share with you news from the Protection Branch of Nova Scotia Department of Environment. Next week the provincial government will publicly announce the protection of the Five Bridges Lakes Wilderness Area under the Wilderness Areas Protection Act. The Trust has been working with many dedicated environmental and community groups for over ten years to protect over 20,000 acres of Crown Land, and the day for celebration has finally come!


Many thanks and congratulations are extended to all of you who made this possible. We look forward to seeing you on Tuesday!

Sincerely,

Jill Pulsifer and Harry Ward
