Natural Areas Protection Act

Prince Edward Island's Natural Areas Protection Act (NAPA) allows legal protection for ecologically significant sites. These sites may include sand dunes, marshes, rivers, ponds, bogs, forests, offshore islands, cliffs or marine areas. Some properties are publicly-owned or held for the people of Prince Edward Island by the non-governmental Island Nature Trust. Others are privately held by landowners who understand the biological importance of their lands and voluntarily agreed to protection.

Natural areas owned by the province or by the Island Nature Trust are open for compatible uses such as hiking, fishing, hunting, trapping, bird-watching and nature exploration.

Learn more about properties which are currently under consideration for designation under NAPA.
