Welcome to the
Bras d’Or Lake Biosphere
The Biosphere is located on Cape Breton Island – Unama’ki, in Mi’kma’ki, the ancestral and unceded territory of the Mi’kmaq people.
Our Mission
It is our mission to engage all peoples in the balanced and sustainable development of the exceptional cultural, social, environmental and economic assets within the Bras d’Or Lake watershed.
Our Vision
We envision the Bras d’Or Lake watershed as a special place where communities are joined together in thoughtful promotion of environmental assets and responsible economic development.
Hi Naturalists! 🌿 Warmer weather means flora, fauna, and fungi are popping up everywhere. To celebrate, we’ve partnered with the Cape Breton Naturalists` Society for a "Walk the Watershed" field trip!
🗓️ June 28th @ 9:30 AM
📍 Meet at the East Bay Hills Trail parking area: https:/maps.app.goo.gl//cR64nDxCmtXG5bXFA
Come spot newly emerging forest plants, warblers, and more! This event is open to all ages and experience levels.
👟 Prep: Dress in layers, wear good shoes, bring sun protection, water, and a snack.
ℹ️ Trail Info: https://hikecapebreton.ca/short-hikes/east-bay-hills/
Stay tuned to Cape Breton Naturalists` Society emails, Facebook, or www.CBNaturalists.ca as well as our socials and newsletter for more upcoming summer field outings in beautiful Unama`ki! 🌊
