Generous donation allows Island Nature Trust to protect expanded lands at Crown Point

Island Nature Trust has announced an expansion to its 182-acre protected Crown Point – Wjikijek Natural Area in Alexandra thanks to the generous contribution of the 117-acre Judson Salt Marsh Natural Area. The Nature Trust says the remarkable gift from the Judson family is a testament to their commitment to safeguarding an area of PEI that’s been loved and cared for by their family for generations. The initial acquisition of Crown Point – Wjikijek Natural Area Crown Point headland in March 2020 was made possible through support from Environment Canada, the MapleCross Fund, and about 100 individual donations from Islanders.  Its protection was of paramount importance because of the expansion in development in Charlottetown and Stratford.
