Happy Canada Day!🇨🇦

Here 🌲🌞🌄🌅

Attention Beachgoers
From mid April to August each year piping plovers and other migratory shorebirds return to Nova Scotia beaches. When you visit the beach this season, please respect wildlife and give them their space.

Here’s how you can help protect nesting coastal birds:
- Give the birds at least 100 m of space
- Avoid the upper dry sand areas and walk on the wet sand
- Always keep pets on leash at Provincial Parks and beaches
- Pack out your trash

Piping plovers and other shorebirds nest directly on open beaches. Their eggs and chicks are easy to miss and can be accidentally disturbed by people and pets. If you see a roped off area on a beach, please avoid the area to give the birds space to nest, feed, and rest.

How would you like to begin your day with a coffee and this picturesque view?
