The Harrison Lewis Centre is a natural history, research, field trip, and nature walk retreat (birding, wildflowers, lichens and mosses, etc.)
As a registered non-profit organization established in 2007, our mission is “to operate an educational retreat for the exploration and appreciation of the natural history and rural heritage of Nova Scotia.”
A wide variety of habitats (17 in all) provide a home for a vast assortment of terrestrial, fresh-water, and marine species of plants and animals, several of which are endangered or classified as “at risk.”
Amenities include a field lab, a meeting/dining room, complete kitchen, washrooms, laundry, and hot showers. Five rustic cabins (two off-grid) can accommodate up to 22 people, with plenty of extra room to camp.
