Recently, Nova Scotia Nature Trust confirmed the receipt of 2 adjacent properties from Neil J. MacKinnon of Guelph ON. They included lands owned previously by John O'Handley and his brother, Allan. Neil is the grandson of John and I know he'd be proud of Neil's diligence and generosity to this worthwhile endevour.
