Save Prospect High Head!

Help the Friends of High Head to preserve this beautiful area forever!

In the past month a great deal of work has gone into preserving the Prospect High Head. The time has come for the people that care about saving Nova Scotia's coastline to pitch in. We had a great community workshop on Saturday, May 19th, 2001, and spent the day discussing what people can do to help. We have arranged meetings with Halifax Regional Municipality, the Province of Nova Scotia, the Nature Conservancy and finally, the developer who has purchased the High Head. The time has come for us to contribute financially. In the last week the community has raised $30,000 in pledges. Please read the attached document for more information:
