Stand Up for Nature: Protected Areas Summit
About this Event
Whether you're a long-time advocate for protected areas or simply someone who enjoys spending time in nature, you're invited to join us for the Stand Up for Nature Summit on July 25th.
Hosted by Nature Nova Scotia, this gathering will bring together community members, conservation groups, outdoor enthusiasts, and anyone interested in the future of Nova Scotia's natural spaces. Together, we'll explore why protected areas matter, learn about landscapes and wildlife across the province, and discover ways people can help support conservation efforts in their own communities.
The summit is designed to be welcoming and accessible to everyone. No previous knowledge or experience is required. Come to learn, share ideas, meet like-minded people, and connect with some of the incredible places and conservation initiatives happening across Nova Scotia.
The day will include:
- Stories and presentations about protected areas from across the province
- Opportunities to meet and connect with conservation organizations and community groups
- Interactive activities and discussions
- Simple, action-oriented ways to support nature conservation
- Lunch provided
- Optional afternoon guided hikes in nearby natural areas
Whether you're curious about protected areas, looking to get involved, or already actively supporting conservation, we hope you'll join us for a day of learning, inspiration, and connection.
