In the fall of 2021, the province released the 9 years-overdue updated Recovery Plan for the Mainland Moose. Nature Nova Scotia commends the province for finally producing a sound plan and, in particular, for emphasizing the immediate need for additional research and changes to forestry practices in moose habitat. Now, we must hold the Nova Scotia government to this plan. Help us Save The Mainland Moose by taking the following actions, today:
Get a Lawn Sign – below – Show your support for ecological forestry by putting up one of our lawn signs. Order yours today, available for pick-up in locations across the province. Go a step further and help us fundraise for vital moose research by donating when you order your sign.
Send a Message – Demand the Minister of Natural Resources and Renewables designate Core Habitat for the Mainland Moose
Sign our petition – demand Ecological Forestry Now.
