The Kingsburg Coastal Conservancy, in Lunenburg County, Nova Scotia, is committed to preserving headlands, beaches, and wetlands of the Kingsburg Peninsula and neighbouring areas, and to safeguarding traditional access to our shorelines.
Founded in 1995 as a charitable, non-governmental, community land trust, the KCC depends on private donations and solely on volunteer efforts. Over the years we have established a solid record for bringing land under our stewardship and protection, and for providing trails and other coastal access. We are one of the few organizations in Nova Scotia eligible to accept ecological gifts and issue receipts for tax benefits to those who either donate land or agree to place conservation easements on land meeting federal criteria.
The KCC currently owns and/or stewards wetlands on Kingsburg and Lily Ponds, coastal properties on Kingsburg Beach and Sand Dollar Beach and a wooded lot on Rose Head. We hold a conservation easement in the Village of Kingsburg and own an ocean-front meadow now called Beach Hill Commons. We share ownership of the 124 acre Gaff Point with the Nature Conservancy of Canada and the Nova Scotia Nature Trust.
Our Mission
To conserve and protect shoreline, wetlands, beaches, freshwater habitats, fields and forests, and to ensure that access to these places, both on Kingsburg peninsula and in neighbouring areas, remains available to the public forever.
