Always great to get some good news regarding land protection.

Here is some wonderful news from the Kingsburg Coastal Conservancy:

_________________________________________________________________________=
______________________

A partnership between the NDP government and the Kingsburg Coastal =
Conservancy (KCC) will ensure that West Ironbound Island will be =
protected for generations to come.

MLAs for the area Pam Birdsall and Gary Ramey announced the acquisition =
of the southern half of West Ironbound Island today, March 28, at a =
gathering in Riverport, Lunenburg County.

"It has been so rewarding to work with the members of the KCC on this =
project," said Birdsall. "Making this announcement together is a very =
proud moment for me as MLA and as a resident of Lunenburg County."

The negotiated price for the parcel of land is $387,500, less than the =
appraised market value. The Department of Natural Resources will =
contribute $200,000 and with the help of local support and donations the =
KCC will contribute the remaining $187,500.

"This announcement is about more than land," added Ramey. "It's about =
the culmination of working together to preserve part of our province for =
the future."

In 2010, the northern half of West Ironbound Island was acquired by the =
KCC. Led by its Board of Directors, the KCC will manage all of the land =
through a stewardship agreement with the province.

"This purchase and stewardship agreement will ensure the protection of =
the land, its species and coastal beauty for all Nova Scotians," said =
Robert Buckley, Chair of the KCC. "Our many volunteers look forward to =
working with the Department of Natural Resources to keep the land =
vibrant and strong."

West Ironbound Island is located 20 kilometers south of Lunenburg.

Cheers,
