With climate change accelerating the loss of biodiversity and threatening ecosystems, our Adopt a Forest program provides a hands-on way for citizens to take action and make a lasting difference.

With a single donation of $5, you can cover the cost of a new hardwood tree planted in a habitat restoration project.

Our mission is to support resilient, environmentally-sustainable communities across Unama’ki-Cape Breton.

Atlantic Coastal Action Program (ACAP) Cape Breton is an environmental non-profit organization that offers the knowledge that Cape Bretoners need to make greener choices, and works directly on practical solutions that help protect and restore our natural environment.


Our work spans four core areas: Habitat Restoration, Environmental Monitoring, Environmental Education, and Waste Diversion.

We weave considerations of climate change adaptation and biodiversity conservation into all of our work.

ACAP offers a variety of services including forest and stream restoration, hands on environmental education, special events, community cleanups, internship placements, volunteer opportunities and so much more!
