The Department of Natural Resources is seeking public input on a draft =
management plan for the Cape Split provincial park reserve.=20
Two open-house events to discuss the future plans for the property are =
being held:=20
-- Thursday, May 28, Scots Bay Community Hall, Highway 358, Scots Bay
-- Thursday, June 4, Clark Commons, Acadia University, University Ave., =

The Department of Natural Resources has prepared a preliminary =
management plan to guide decisions for the property.
The 428-hectare property is on a dramatic coastal setting near Scots =
Bay, Kings Co. It is the most ecologically intact portion of the North =
Mountain, and one of the most important undisturbed areas on the Bay of =
Fundy. The property includes several rare or threatened plant species, =
old forest, prehistoric sites, rare and semiprecious minerals, and one =
of the most prominent coastal hiking trails in Nova Scotia.
"Anyone with an interest in Cape Split is encouraged to attend one of =
the open houses," said Brian Kinsman, senior parks planner, Department =
of Natural Resources. "Our goal is to create a park that provides =
visitor facilities and services and is managed to ensure visitor safety =
and the protection of the park=92s ecosystems, heritage, and wildlife =
habitat.=94
The focus of the development is to provide a coastal day-use hiking =
trail with facilities and services for the proposed 20-kilometre system =
of interconnecting trails. Parking and trail-head access, orientation =
and interpretive information and washrooms will be provided at the =
western end of the Scots Bay Road. Viewing areas will be located at key =
locations.
The Department of Natural Resources is developing a new natural =
resources strategy for 2010. Provincial parks will be included in that =
strategy, which will direct departmental policies and programs for the =
next decade and beyond.
The draft management plan is be available at www.gov.ns.ca/natr .
