Restigouche
Under the Radar: The Wild Word in Nova Scotia
by theolamb | January 16, 2010
Last week, the Federal government announced that together with the Nature Conservancy of Canada, it has purchased 1,485 hectares of land in Nova Scotia along the Atlantic coast for conservation. I didn't find a heck of a lot written about the announcement, with the exception of the press release details, an article in the Chronicle, and a few other articles on the wire. It looks as though this announcement went under the radar for a lot of Canadians. (Is this true, or did you hear more about it than I did?) With so little written about it in the news, my suspicious nature gets the best of me and I can't help but consider if 1,485 hectares represents the entire area in need of protection, or is there more that could be done?Help the Restigouche Make "The List"

Sign your name on this list so the Restigouche can make that list. Intrigued? This summer, the Government of New Brunswick decides the future of 100 000 hectares of the Restigouche watershed. New Brunswick and Québec share this region and it’s critical to ask the leaders of both provinces to protect it. It's all dependent on whether the Premier of New Brunswick decides whether or not the Restigouche belongs on "the list." Raise your hand if you're thinking, "petition!"Gardons la Restigouche sauvage!

La SNAP a identifié un territoire de 100 000 hectares dans le bassin versant de la rivière Restigouche comme étant crucial pour le maintien de la biodiversité dans cette région encore sauvage et intacte et, par la même occasion, soutenir l’industrie écotouristique. Nous demandons aux gouvernements du Nouveau-Brunswick et du Québec de travailler ensemble à la protection permanente de ce joyau naturel que se partage ces deux provinces.
