natural legacy, including Lowland Cove in Northern Inverness County.
The Nature trust announced a public campaign last September to raise the final $200,000 needed to secure all three lands. Bonnie Sutherland, executive director of the Nature Trust, said with all three properties, they became land purchases, which required a lot of leg work to get the deals lined up.
The Lowland Cove section includes 40 hectares of coastal habitats, and represents a milestone in linking the proposed Seawall Trail.
Sutherland called it a step forward in protecting the lands as well as providing public access.
