Nova Scotia is rich in natural resources – including biodiversity, forests, geological resources, provincial parks and the land we manage.

Together we are working with Nova Scotians to build a better future through sustainable natural resource management as we all benefit from the natural health and wealth of the province.

The Land Administration Division coordinates all matters relating to acquisition of Crown land and interests in Crown land (e.g. rights of way, flowage, leases, licenses), applications for permanent structures/activities on coastal waters, campsite leases, claims on Crown land, disposal and leasing of Crown lands for agriculture, expropriations, general policy for the sale of Crown land, gifts to the Crown, leases to private enterprises and non-profit organizations, peat land exploration licensing and development leasing, permits for use of fishing reserves, standard licenses for abandoned rail corridors, utility easements, and provides land services on behalf of other departments, governments and organizations. These activities are vital to the economic, environmental, recreational, and social well-being of the province, and are essential to maintaining stewardship of the province's $5 billion dollar Crown land asset.
