Did you know that you contribute to local conservation efforts and help collect important data for Sandy Lake as a citizen scientist with iNaturalist?

Every observation can help make a difference, so be sure to download the app and bring it on your next hike through Sandy Lake Park!

Let’s talk traffic!

The proposed development around Sandy Lake will make things much worse, especially along Hammonds Plains Rd.

People, air, water, and wildlife in the area would suffer as a result of the overloading of Hammonds Plains Road.

Development at Sandy Lake is unsustainable urban sprawl and comes at a very high cost to the environment, and the people. There is still time to send a clear message that we do need housing but NOT next to Sandy Lake.

Help us protect Sandy Lake by posting a Save Sandy Lake Sign on your property!

Fungi are vital for decomposing dead organic matter, recycling nutrients back into the soil and supporting new plant growth. With several hundred species of fungi in Nova Scotia you never know what you might find.

Here are some of the fungi species that have been found around Sandy Lake Park!

Don’t miss the magic of Sandy Lake in autumn, as the park comes alive with the brilliant colours of the leaves!

October is the best time to hike around to view the foliage, and take in that magical autumn glow. So, get to Sandy Lake Park for these spectacular views, while leaf supplies last🍂
