Green Shores Case Studies are now live!

Our two recent case studies were created to detail the implementation of two projects within the Kespukwitk/Southwest Nova Scotia Priority Place, and how the Green Shores for Homes program was applied to conserve and restore Species at Risk habitat.

In 2023, Credit 2.1 was added to incentivize homeowners to steward Species at Risk (SAR) habitat and avoid impacting them with shoreline projects. To test the effectiveness of this new credit, we implemented two projects on private properties containing SAR habitat.
