Thank you for your commitment to protecting the lands of Ship Harbour Long Lake. This candidate wilderness area represents a great step towards ensuring the ecological integrity of the Eastern Shore, and our province as a whole. I would like to express my support for ensuring the minimum protection of at least 14,000 ha in the area of Ship Harbour Long Lake towards meeting the provincial goal of protecting 12% of Nova Scotia.

Please keep me informed of the progression of the socio-economic study, and I urge you to continue along this important path to protection.

Phone your MLA

A personal phone call to your Member of the Legislative Assembly is a great way of showing that their communities care about protecting Nova Scotia wilderness. Encourage the protection of Ship Harbour Long Lake and express your wish that protecting at least 12% of Nova Scotia is a great first step towards ensuring that at least 50% of Canada’s wild areas become protected.
