Residents interested in conservation, stewardship and Cape LaHave Island are being encouraged to participate in community consultation efforts relating to the island.
Before any major plans are set in motion the MODL wants to hear from their residents about their thoughts on Cape LaHave Island.
“We want to know things like where visitors go when they visit the island, how often they visit, their thoughts about the current and future uses of the island, etc.,” said Laura Barkhouse, Trails & Open Space Coordinator, MODL.
In November of 2019, Municipal Council passed a motion for the development of a conservation easement with the Nova Scotia Nature Trust for Cape LaHave Island.
“The protection and conservation of Cape LaHave Island is very important to us,” said Mayor Carolyn Bolivar-Getson. “Our intent is to conserve this land in perpetuity in a natural and undeveloped state. If residents will share what they know about the island, and what they’d like to see happen at Cape LaHave Island, that will help to inform our work to help care for it in the future.”
An online survey about the island’s future is now available on the MODL’s website and you can submit feedback up until December 15.
