Art, Nature & Healthy Adventures

Welcome

To be outdoors with friends, sharing creative projects, enjoying the health benefits of nature, and also caring for trees, planting gardens, protecting wetlands and other habitats–this is our vision. Our friends and allies include artists, gardeners, naturalists, hikers and educators. Some of our friends are activists pushing for social change; others seek peaceful surroundings where they can get away from the madness of city pressures to pursue their creative impulses.

In the summer of 2019, the Robert Pope Foundation purchased a property on the South Shore of Nova Scotia, which we hope to use for artist retreats and for promoting healthy lifestyles and experiences in nature. In time, we plan to open the centre to the public, build a gallery, host exhibitions and provide opportunities to learn and grow. In the meantime, we are feeling our way, meeting new friends and volunteers, and redesigning existing buildings to meet future needs.

This site will function as an informal blog and gallery where we share some of our interests and discoveries. For now, it’s an evolving snapshot of visitors, excursions, projects, and observations. For images of our daily activities, please visit our Instagram page.
