We are a coalition of non-governmental groups. Our mission is to ensure no loss of wildlife habitat in the Backlands and to preserve them for natural, historical, cultural, conservation, educational, recreational and common use.
We are also on Facebook and Twitter (@HfxBacklands) and as of Dec 21, 2022, on Instagram.
We acknowledge that the Backlands are in Mi’kma’ki, the ancestral and unceded territory of the Mi’kmaq People.
