This 400ha island is an oasis for wildlife with over 250 species of birds including osprey and blue heron and boasts seven different terrestrial habitats from sandy beaches and marshes to forests and abandoned pasturelands. Cathy McCarthy, President of the Friends of McNabs, will help you renew your acquaintance with McNabs Island and discuss how the Friends have been cleaning up and protecting the island from major development since 1990 while re-introducing it to the public via guided tours and annual events. For those who might be interested, the Friends\u2019 book, \u201cDiscover McNabs Island\u201d will be available for a cost of $20 after the talk.<br \/>\nThis HFN talk is at 7:30pm at the Nova Scotia Museum of Natural History (1747 Summer Street, Halifax).
