A charitable NGO that protects biodiversity in Nova Scotia, the Nature Trust is working to protect ecologically critical private land in Nova Scotia. They understand that with less than 30 percent of Nova Scotia's land publicly owned, there is a need for conservation and stewardship of our remaining natural spaces. They "envision a future in which Nova Scotia’s native species, and unique habitats and natural landscapes are protected in perpetuity, and in which this natural legacy is appreciated and actively stewarded."
