About KCC links
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.
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.
