Nova Scotia

The Nature Conservancy of Canada’s (NCC's) work in Nova Scotia dates back to 1971. Since then, we have worked with individuals and communities to protect some of the most ecologically significant land across the province. Together with partners and supporters like you, we are making a difference. From rural areas to Halifax County, we are diligently working to sustain the province's natural heritage for our children and grandchildren.

Browse our interactive map of nature reserves throughout Atlantic Canada. Visitors are welcome to explore most of these sites. However, as many NCC nature reserves in the province do not have paths, are undeveloped and may have hazards present, please exercise caution when visiting.
