Good Day,


Many of you will already know that the Nova Scotia government has a goal =
to protect 12% of the province by 2015. We can all play a role in the =
decision making by participating in a process currently underway. This =
is the first call for public input to the Protected Areas Branch, DOE. =
Deadline is Feb 12.

http://www.gov.ns.ca/nse/12percent/

A selection of 444 pieces of crown land have been identified and =
numbered on the map. By double-clicking on the coloured polygons, you =
can call up an image and basic info on each property. Some of these =
properties may be familiar to you. If you have additional info such as =
species of flora or fauna found there, you have the opportunity to add =
to the basic info. As well, if a property is special for recreational =
use, talk about it. Finally, if you know of a special place that you are =
familiar with, that needs to be included in conservation efforts, share =
the information with location details, county, etc and the reasons why =
it is special. If you know who owns the land, that would be useful too.

https://www.gov.ns.ca/nse/12percent/maps.asp#regional.maps     by county

Once the submissions have been reviewed and consolidated, a process of =
public consultation will happen so you will have another chance to =
champion your special or preferred sites.=20

Cheers,

Bob McDonald
