What if reclaiming land could not only restore a community's heritage but also pave the way for future generations to thrive? Today, we’re focusing on the Upper Hammonds Plains Community Land Trust in Nova Scotia, founded out of necessity to protect and restore lands for the historic descendants of this vibrant community.
In this episode, we’ll be joined by Curtis Whiley, the founder of the CLT, who will share insights on:
The rich history of Upper Hammonds Plains and its connection to promises made after the War of 1812.
Current goals and challenges faced by the community in reclaiming their land.
Key projects aimed at supporting affordable housing and community restoration.
The importance of the relationship with Indigenous communities.
Engaging youth in preserving and enhancing community wealth.
How can a community land trust balance historical justice with modern housing needs? Let’s find out!
