Save Owl's Head Provincial Park

Since the large majority of Nova Scotia’s coastline is privately owned, citizens understand that it’s important to preserve both coastal access and coastal ecosystems. Owls Head Provincial Park is a biodiverse coastal headland on the Eastern Shore and an integral component of our protected areas network. It features biodiverse wetlands, a wildlife corridor, and habitat for over 90 species of birds, including endangered barn swallows and piping plovers.

Eastern Shore Forest Watch led the way in the fight for the park to be protected rather than sold to a developer. The Owls Head finally received Provincial Park designation on June 14, 2022.
