Nature Trust saves rare coastal gem at Port La Tour

24 jun 2021.

port la tour

While Nova Scotians are emerging from the recent pandemic lockdown, some flighty south shore residents are also gathering and celebrating! Just in time for our feathered friends’ return, we’re thrilled to announce that we have saved a spectacular coastal wilderness near Port La Tour on Nova Scotia’s south shore. The 364 acre purchase secures one of the province’s last remaining large and ecologically rich coastal properties, and a significant site for migratory, overwintering and nesting birds.

“Thanks to enthusiastic public and government support, one of Nova Scotia’s last, large coastal wilderness areas is now protected forever–a beautiful landscape of pristine beaches, dunes, wetlands and forest, rare and endangered plants and wildlife,” says Bonnie Sutherland, Executive Director of the Nature Trust. “Saving this unique coastal gem is truly something for all Nova Scotians to celebrate.”

Opportunities to protect Nova Scotia’s treasured coastline are rare. Over 85% of Nova Scotia’s coast is privately owned and faces increasing development pressures. Ownership is highly fragmented, in small parcels, making assemblage of contiguous coastal habitats challenging.

Located on Nova Scotia’s southwest coast, the Nature Trust’s newest protected area includes an ecologically rich mosaic of coastal habitats, from some of the most pristine sand beaches and dunes in the region, to saltmarsh, wetlands, bogs and coastal forest, and provides important habitat for diverse wildlife including rare and endangered birds and lichen.

port la tour

The property’s protection strengthens the conservation value of other protected lands in the area as well, by providing essential landscape connectivity. Nature needs connected habitats, for wildlife to move safely, and for nature to thrive long-term. The new protected area is adjacent to the provincially-protected 2550 acre Port LaTour Bogs Wilderness Area, creating a large, contiguous protected area, and adding critical coastal habitats to the suite of biodiversity already protected.

Piping Plover (Credit: Steven McGrath)

Many species of conservation concern, including several federally designated Species at Risk, will benefit from the property’s protection. Among the most significant are Piping Plover, listed as Endangered under the federal Species at Risk Act (SARA). These birds often travel back and forth between the adjacent beaches, which regularly support successfully nesting Piping Plovers – in fact, this area is considered amongst the most productive breeding sites in the province in recent years. Very few other beaches that support Piping Plover benefit from existing protection, and are under increasing pressures from sea-level rise, erosion, development, and human use.

A variety of shorebirds also use the property during their migration to and from more southerly locations. These avian visitors include relatively large numbers of Semipalmated Plover and Semipalmated Sandpiper, as well as Black-bellied Plover and Least Sandpiper. With shorebird populations declining 40% over the last decade globally, protecting one of their important migratory stopovers is critical.

port la tour

The purchase of Port La Tour Beach was made possible by significant financial support from major partners:

This project was made possible by the Natural Heritage Conservation Program Land Trusts Conservation Fund, an initiative funded by the Canada Nature Fund, supporting Canada’s land trusts in helping to meet Canada’s ambitious biodiversity goals.

“Nova Scotia is a province full of beauty. Located along one of Canada’s great coasts we are home to many countless wildlife and diverse landscapes. By working together with Nova Scotia Nature Trust we are preserving the important coastal habitat near Port La Tour. Our government is continuing to deliver on our commitment to protect our province’s natural environment now and for future generations.” – The Honourable Bernadette Jordan, Minister of Fisheries, Oceans and the Canadian Coast Guard and Member of Parliament for South Shore—St. Margarets

Other major support came from the Nova Scotia Crown Share Land Legacy Trust, a significant funder for the private land conservation work of land trusts in Nova Scotia, and donations by many individuals and families.

port la tour

Announced in September 2020, the ambitious conservation campaign aims to double natural areas we protect and steward across the province by 2025, to a total of 30,000 acres. Other major land accomplishments to date include the high-profile Blue Mountain Wilderness Connector , critical bird habitat in the Tusket Islands , endangered turtle and salmon habitat on the St. Mary’s River, and rare gypsum karst and highland wilderness sites in Cape Breton. 

This latest conservation win for Nova Scotia is timely in light of the important role that natural spaces and access to nature have played for Nova Scotians throughout the pandemic. 

And you can help save even more spectacular places like Port La Tour Beach, all across Nova Scotia, with a charitable donation to Twice the Wild. With every dollar donated being matched 4 to 1, every gift makes a big difference in saving twice the wild. Twice the space for nature, and for people to enjoy too.

Charles de LaTour

An adventurer in acadie.

In 1610, the two young men returned to Port Royal with Poutrincourt to re-establish the settlement and trading post. The community was plagued by financial difficulties and rivalry between France and England for control of Eastern North America. While Poutrincourt was back in France seeking money and supplies, New Englanders raided and destroyed the Habitation. Poutrincourt was forced to take most of the settlers home, while Biencourt, LaTour, and a few followers remained at Port Royal to continue the fur trade with the support of their Mi’kmaw friends.

After a few years, they turned their attention to the southwest region between Cape Sable and Cape Negro. They spent many years travelling with the Mi’kmaq, sharing their way of life and trading furs with fishing companies that operated in that region. During this time, LaTour married a Mi’kmaw woman with whom he had three daughters. In 1623 Biencourt died, leaving Charles de LaTour as leader of the French in Acadie. 

LaTour selected a South Shore harbour as his headquarters and built Fort St-Louis at what is now Port LaTour.  By now he had three ships and was prepared to defend Acadie against the English, but he needed support from France. He sent a request to the King and Cardinal Richelieu for a commission formally establishing his leadership in Acadie. He received some supplies, but the commission was slow to come, and he was struggling to survive. 

Meanwhile, Sir William Alexander had persuaded England’s King Charles I to create “baronies of Nova Scotia” and in 1629 established a garrison of Scots, known as Charlesfort, at the head of the Annapolis Basin. LaTour’s father, Claude, saw an opportunity to obtain power by obtaining baronies for himself and his son. He and his English wife arrived at Port LaTour with a Scottish expedition to convey the news to Charles, who was horrified at his father’s treachery and sent them back to their ship. 

In 1630, supply vessels finally arrived with food, munitions, building material for a new fort, and Récollet priests to conduct a mission among the Mi’kmaq. Charles’s marriage received the church’s blessing and his daughters were baptised. With a firmer grip on Acadie, he allowed his father to return with his household. He would not allow them to live with him at Fort St-Louis but gave them a house nearby.

Charles used the building material to construct Fort LaTour on the Saint John River. In 1631, he finally received his commission as Lieutenant General for the King in Acadie. The following year, Isaac de Razilly received a similar commission and established a settlement at LaHève . They reached an amicable division of power, but after Razilly’s death in 1636, his successor, Charles de Menou d’Aulnay, wanted complete control of Acadie. LaTour and d’Aulnay became bitter enemies and fought constantly.

Meanwhile Charles’s wife died, and he was looking for another. He may have met Françoise-Marie Jacquelin during an earlier visit to France; in 1639 he sent an agent to arrange a marriage contract, and 1640 Françoise arrived in Acadie. The couple lived at Fort LaTour on the Saint John River, and Madame LaTour took an active part in her husband’s affairs.

D’Aulnay and LaTour vied for the support of New England merchants. While Charles was in Boston, D’Aulnay’s men attacked Fort LaTour. Françoise led the defence, but after several days the fort fell, and she was forced to witness the hanging of the surviving defenders. She became ill and died some time later.

The loss of his second wife and his fort left LaTour desperate. He stole a ship and made his way to Québec, where he was living when he heard of D’Aulnay’s death in 1650.

In an extraordinary turn of events, Charles returned to Acadie and married D’Aulnay’s widow, forging an alliance against her creditor, Emmanuel Leborgne, and fathering five more children. Conflicts continued until an attack from New England resulted in LaTour being taken prisoner to England, where he sold his rights in Acadie to William Crowne and Thomas Temple. He returned to a quiet retirement in Acadie until his death in 1663.
