The Nature Conservancy of Canada is trying to raise around $20,000 within two weeks to purchase a portion of the Musquash Estuary.
NCC’s Andrew Holland tells CHSJ news their goal is to protect the 300 acres of land long-term. He says the forest site has a lot of wildlife including moose, bobcats, white tailed deer and over 290 species of birds. He says they are already protecting about 88% of the coastline, but this property is more inland where the larger wildlife roam.
Holland adds they already have 84% of the funds raised to purchase the property, which they would care for and use as a tool to educate people about nature.
