This area of Nova Scotia is rich in wildlife due
to the vast open wooded spaces that make up the St
Mary's River Valley. We've mentioned the
Atlantic Salmon, the
vast array of birds and
the wood turtles. But

 In
the run of a day on the St Mary's River it's
highly possible to spot several of the animals
listed. Today our lives are so disconnected from
the natural world.They say the more we surround
ourselves with the wild, the healthier we become.
Owning a comfy cottage on the St Mary's is a
perscription for a better way of life.
Nova Scotia is a special place. It's the type
of place where you can witness a pesky Blue Heron
taunt your Chesapeake Bay Retriever as he pursues
the impossible - running & barking frantically
across the muddy tidal shores of the Bay of Fundy.
A tad better than a dose of CNN in the morning
wouldn't you say?
Children and adults alike need to escape to
places like St Mary's River. There's many
personalities to meet and not the kind you find in
traffic or at school!
