Conservationists are celebrating the creation of a turtle sanctuary in Queens County. The Nova Scotia Nature Trust has bought land around McGowan Lake to protect a primary habitat of the endangered Blanding’s turtle. The sanctuary contains more than five kilometers of undeveloped shoreline, ideal nesting ground for the turtles. It’s been estimated there are only 350 Blanding’s turtles left in the wild in Nova Scotia.
