Part of Association for Preservation of the Eastern Shore fonds
Series forms part of Association for Preservation of the Eastern Shore fonds and consists of records related to the Association’s activities after the abandonment of the Ship Harbour National Park proposal in late 1973.

Among these were environmental issues, including pesticide spraying and illegal dumping; safety and law enforcement issues, including speeding and unsafe driving on and around Clam Harbour Beach; and the promotion of local residents’ interests, including concerns about the hiring practices of the Nova Scotia Job Corps programme.
