'After years of working toward his goal, Mike Lancaster had to pause to
contemplate how it felt to see it achieved.
"I've spent countless hours — thousands of hours back there growing up in the
area and then also doing scientific research back there. A lot of my life has
been poured into this."
The place that's been so central for Lancaster is now known as the Island Lake
Wilderness Area, almost 4,000 hectares of land, wetlands and water in the St.
Margarets Bay area, about 30 minutes from downtown Halifax. The site is one of
23 new or expanded protected areas announced by the Nova Scotia government on
Wednesday.
Mainland moose and other endangered species have been documented in Island
Lake, which is also home to the oldest forest in the Maritimes, said Lancaster.
He called the announcement "a tremendous victory for conservation" in the
province.'
