Episode 5: This land is my land
Manage episode 429940815 series 3578733
In a province where 87% (or more) of the coastline is privately owned, private property owners can often be at the brunt end of coastal access conflicts. Yet, there are ways that property owners and communities can work together to maintain or create access. In this episode, we hear two stories of property owners who came 'from away' to rural Nova Scotian communities and instead of putting up No Trespassing signs, they took a different route.
