Hiking and Mountain Biking trails run throughout the Backlands which encompass 1350 hectares including William's Lake and Colpitt Lake (officially designated as The Shaw Wilderness Park thanks to The Nature Conservancy of Canada), McIntosh Run, Purcell's Pond, East & West Pine Island Ponds, Power's Pond, and Herring Cove. The Nova Scotia Nature Trust also has protected areas of the Backlands and describes it as an urban wilderness which, "features uniquely diverse geographic features and habitats including scattered rugged granite coastal headlands, undeveloped freshwater shorelines contained within an undisturbed watershed, developing hardwood forests, bogs and granite barrens. In addition, these lands are home to a significant area of uncommon Jack Pine forest and rare plant life.". As an added bonus, once you've finished your stewardship, why not consider donating the land to the Nova Scotia Nature Trust who already own 3 adjacent properties that surround the remainder of Purcell's Pond? They'd love to give you a tax credit for thinking of them and the generations to follow, who would get to enjoy your gift, would be forever grateful, perhaps even inspiring a future Thoreau!
