      <image:title>Biosphere News - Applications to extend our Forever a Forest project!</image:title>
      <image:caption>The Southwest Nova Biosphere is putting out a call for applications to extend our Forever a Forest project and are interested in hearing from landowners within Annapolis, Digby, Yarmouth, Shelburne, and Queens counties who would like to have their land reforested. The ideal land would provide a total planting area of 1 hectare or more in size and include one of the following habitats we are looking to restore: Old or marginal farm fields The expansion or reforestation of riparian areas. Land that has lost (or losing) its tree cover due to fire, pests or extreme weather events Diversification/underplanting of monoculture plantations. Areas that will bridge and improve habitat connectivity. If you would like to learn more about this project, or see how your land may qualify for planting, please reach out to our Forever a Forest project lead adam@swnovabiosphere.ca</image:caption>

      <image:title>Biosphere News - Joggins Fossil Cliffs - Winter Newsletter 2024 - We also had a busy summer with multiple educational groups visiting the Joggins Fossil Cliffs. Many local community organizations and learning institutions booked our services and offerings, with ages ranging from primary school to graduate school. In all, we hosted an estimated 250 visitors booking through our education programming. Our tours were the most popular option, however some groups opted for a more tailored activity, including many of our science programs. If you are an educator or a group leader interested in any of our programs, including classroom visits, please contact: outreach@jogginsfossilcliffs.net</image:title>
