Weymouth Falls Community Land Trust

Background of the organization

Founded in 2023, Weymouth Falls CLT is based in one of Nova Scotia’s oldest African Nova Scotian rural settlements, home to Black Loyalist descendants. The organization addresses the dual marginalization of being Black and rural, with a focus on energy security, land stewardship, and cultural preservation.

Project description

Funding will support the restoration of the historic Mount Beulah Baptist Church as a climate-resilient community hub, development of a 10-year energy transition strategy, land acquisition, and organizational capacity building.
