The Nature Conservancy of Canada celebrating its milestone 50th year as an organization…and they say they’re going into 2013 with increased capabilities and conserving even more natural habitat for wildlife.
Paula Noel of the conservancy tells CHSJ News they’re able to do a lot more than simply conserve the areas that need it most desperately.
She says they have accelerated the pace of land conservation here in the province and across the country thanks to a large grant from the federal government.
Noel says they’ve been pleased to be able to preserve forested areas and coastline throughout the province, and well as enlisting local nature-lovers to help with their beach clean-ups and field projects.
