The Nova Scotia Adopt A Stream Manual: A Watershed Approach to Community-Based Stewardship is a step by step guide to adopting your watershed, and explains how you can undertake fish habitat restoration projects in your community. 

This manual has been developed for ordinary Nova Scotians from all walks of life. You don't need special knowledge about watercourses and fish to become involved. We have tried to keep the material easy to use and understand. This manual gives you the basic tools and guidelines for "adopting" a stream or any other watercourse.
