Nova Scotia is rich with areas of exceptional, unspoiled nature. From the steep canyon slopes of the Margaree River to the dunes of Sand Hills Beach, parks and protected areas support recreation, tourism, research, and education. Above all, they protect the fundamental elements of nature: our land, water, and biodiversity. This document is the province's plan to ensure that these areas continue to thrive. The plan delivers on two important government commitments: update Nova Scotia's park system to secure and strengthen its long-term success, and increase Nova Scotia's legally protected landmass to at least 12 per cent by 2015.
