Mi’Kmaq petroglyph photo courtesy Parks Canada The ancestors of the Mi’kmaq people were the first to occupy the land they called Kespukwitk with giant hemlocks, pines, spruce, maple, red oak, birch and beech trees with biodiversity more typical of the Atlantic Coastal plain to the south. Mi’kmaq petroglyph photo courtesy Parks Canada 3 The Mi’kmaq people witnessed the arrival of the first European explorers and extended the hand of kindness when Samuel de Champlain and Sieur de Mons established the first permanent European settlement (1605) in North America, ‘Le Habitation’ in Port Royal. ‘Habitation’ photo courtesy of Fort Anne National Historic Site With the passing of time the tragedy of European wars also reached this contested region. Residents became victims. Pirates and privateers roamed the basins and off shore. When North American and European politics evolved Southwestern Nova Scotia became a refuge for the persecuted and displaced. To this day southwestern Nova Scotia features communities with distinct heritage. The enduring Mi’kmaq first nations people, French speaking Acadians, early immigrant ‘planters’, Black and other refugee Loyalists from the American War of Independence, Scottish, Irish and other Europeans escaping from the hardships of war and famine, all formed the cultural fabric of this region. When the UNESCO Southwest Nova Biosphere Reserve (SNBR) was designated in 2001 it was to recognize the unique biodiversity and high level of scientific activity in the region, but also the cultural diversity and cooperative nature of its citizens. Just as in the past, communities work together today to address environmental challenges and to help each other out. 4 Similar to hundreds of years ago the fishery, forestry, and agriculture continue to be the critical basis for economic activity in southwestern Nova Scotia. It is the mission of the UNESCO Southwest Nova Biosphere Reserve Association (SNBRA) to advance sustainable resource management, science and education, while celebrating our cultural heritage as a global example for civic development. Zonation; coordination and common function: The SNBR zoning regime reflects an enhanced strategy for ecosystem based management and habitat protection for the Atlantic Coastal Uplands Natural Region. This unique region in Canada features warm microclimates, thin acidic soils, mixed wood forests with some old growth stands, rare and significant terrestrial, wetland, and aquatic biodiversity. Core Protected Areas Zone (160,400 ha): Within Kejimkujik National Park and National Historic Site (UNESCO Category 2) Core Protected Area in the centre of southwestern Nova Scotia, endangered, threatened, rare species, and important cultural features are protected by Parks Canada’s own zoning plan to enhance natural and cultural resource protection while supporting recreational use to foster appreciation of the national park. The National Park and National Historic Site features a public interpretation programme that presents cultural heritage and biodiversity values in the protected area and beyond. Adjacent to Kejimkujik, the Tobeatic Wilderness Area features a strict ‘no development’ policy within its boundaries, non-motorized wilderness travel consistent with the provincial Wilderness Areas Protection Act, with only light recreational use including primarily canoeing and wilderness travel. 5 The area includes the historical Shelburne River, an element of the Canadian Heritage River system. The 53km long Shelburne River was designated in 1997, in recognition of its outstanding natural and recreational values. Mersey River; Kejimkujik National Park and National Historic Site (C. Drysdale photo) “Sustainable Resource Management and Protection Area’ (457,669 ha): Surrounding the Core Protected Areas a “Sustainable Resource Management and Protection Area’ comprised of Western Nova Scotia Crown Lands with managed forests, a range of protected wilderness areas and nature reserves provides adaptive buffering and protection of significant ecosystems. This zone, along with the Core Protected Areas feature progressive resource management planning,

  • Tusket River & Basin
    Tusket River & Basin Introduction The Tusket River presents an area of 3000 square kilometres (1158 square miles) on the southwestern tip of Nova Scotia. The area consists of a coastal basin with an inland watershed associated with the great Tusket River. This name is derived from a Mi'kmaq word "Neketaouksit" meaning "Great Forked Tidal River". This unique and diverse environment has offered natural resources to the Mi'kmaq First Nation's people for 7000 years and to the French Acadian settlers since the early 17th century. In the context of sustainable development, the present-day Acadians can offer a bilingual ecotourism package of nature-adventure and discovery blended with local history and heritage. The following natural history of the area will be presented in two segments. The first section will describe the natural environment of the Tusket Basin and its interrelationships with the Acadian people. The second segment will describe the natural history of the Tusket River in a similar manner to present the Acadian in his natural environment. Basin description 1. Physical features The Tusket Basin has a width of 32 kilometres (20 miles) between headlands at Chebogue Point and Lower East Pubnico. The mainland coastline between these two boundaries is highly indented and irregular with a measure of 500 kilometres (310 miles). Elongated points, peninsulas, ridges, drumlins (low hills) and eskers are oriented North-South and are separated by many tidal channels, inlets, estuaries and bays. High tide in the estuary of the "great forked tidal river" (Tusket) carries salt water inland for 24 kilometres (15 miles).

The expanded wilderness area extends protection to more of the groundwater recharge area and the associated North Tyndal Protected Water Area. Chignecto Isthmus is a critical land bridge that links Nova Scotia to New Brunswick and the rest of North America.

This may be done in partnership with other agencies and through agreements with non-government organizations. In 1998, 31 areas were designated under the Wilderness Areas Protection Act (1998, c.27, amended 2005, c.56, s.18) (the Act). Two additional areas, Gully Lake and Eigg Mountain-James River WAs, were designated in 2005. In total, the 33 WAs protect approximately 295,400 hectares (ha), which represents approximately 5.3% of the land area of Nova Scotia. When all categories of legally protected land are considered, approximately 8.2% of Nova Scotia is protected. The Environmental Goals and Sustainability Act (2007, c.7) focuses on the health of the environment, economy, and people of Nova Scotia. The legislation’s major objective is for Nova Scotia to have one of the cleanest, most sustainable environments while achieving economic prosperity equal to or greater than the national average (Government of Nova Scotia 2008).

Your participation in this project is important, as we work together to develop a Management Plan for one of Nova Scotia’s most outstanding wild places - Tobeatic Wilderness Area. Nova Scotia Environment and Labour is proud to lead the protection and management of Tobeatic Wilderness Area. Wilderness Areas are cornerstones in defining our province’s character and in securing our unique wilderness heritage today, and for future generations. In this Draft Management Plan, we recognize the ecological integrity and unique wilderness heritage of Tobeatic Wilderness Area, and strive to improve stewardship through partnership, communication, and education. This document is the result of the hard work and creativity of many people, each with a unique background, interest, and expertise. In particular, I wish to acknowledge the dedicated volunteers that serve on the Tobeatic Advisory Group. Over the past two years this group has worked closely with the Department to provide valuable advice. This Draft Management Plan reflects much of the advice we received from this group. It also reflects the important public comment provided through the initial round of public consultation completed in autumn 2002. Together your input helps us to better plan and manage Tobeatic Wilderness Area. I encourage you to participate in this part of the public consultation, whether it be through attending one of our Open Houses, submitting a completed Worksheet, or learning more about Tobeatic Wilderness Area at a local library information display.
