The Arlington Forest Protection Society is partnering with Citizen Scientists of the Southwest Nova Biosphere to launch a campaign to protect the province's old forests at the Bridgetown Legion on Saturday, March 25. FileBRIDGETOWN, N.S. — The Arlington Forest Protection Society is partnering with Citizen Scientists of the Southwest Nova Biosphere to launch a campaign to protect the province's old forests.
The campaign is set to launch at the Bridgetown Legion on Saturday, March 25. The campaign's petition calls on the provincial government to pause all harvesting and roadbuilding activities in forests over 80 years old on Crown land until 20 per cent of the province’s land has been permanently protected.
Rob Bright, spokesperson for the Arlington Forest Protection Society, said the campaign's purpose is to engage local communities in protecting the forests by having fun and letting the government know wants to help. "We’re launching the campaign in Annapolis County, but we’re hoping people in other counties decide to follow suit," said Bright."We are all facing the same biodiversity crisis. We can all see how little old forest remains. It’s time for us to come together and save the best of what’s left."
The kick-off event features speakers Bob Bancroft and Donna Crossland. There will also be a free lunch and a silent auction.It has been our privilege to have the trust and support of our East Coast communities for the last 200 years.
