Moose-mating project expands in Maritimes

The Nature Conservancy of Canada says 198 hectares of land has been added to the land already put aside, for the so-called ‘Moose-sex project’, bringing the total to 1,012 hectares.

Moose number as many as 30,000 in New Brunswick, but only about 1,000 in Nova Scotia.

The conserved land is on the Chignecto Isthmus, which connects the two provinces. It is also a habitat for bobcats and lynx, and it is hoped the moose will get together and help increase Nova Scotia’s dwindling population.
