Land Acknowledgement Welcome to the Eastern Shore Reminders for Visiting our Coastline Please keep these recommendations in mind when visiting ecologically sensitive coastal locations in Nova Scotia: Leave no trace. Take only photos, and pack out what you pack in. Dunes are delicate. Avoid walking and driving on sand dunes. Steer clear of the birds. Shorebirds and seabirds use the coastline as nesting habitats and migration stopovers to rest. Check for ticks. Ticks can transmit Lyme Disease, so check yourself during and after exploring. Report rare species. If you spy a rare plant or animal, log onto iNaturalist.ca to report your sighting! This helps us identify and protect the places they call home. discoverhalifaxns.com To learn more, please visit nsnt.ca Sheet Harbour MEMORY LANE HERITAGE VILLAGE Lake Charlotte An award-winning living history museum depicting coastal rural life in Nova Scotia during the 1940s.
