   _Friends of McNabs Island Society hosts Fall Foliage Tours_

   _September 19, 2011, Halifax, NS_: The Friends of McNabs Island Society will

   restoration project. Guided nature tours, as well as a Thomas Raddall
   Hangman’s Beach literary tour, are also planned

   The Fall Foliage Tours is a time for families and friends to explore McNabs

   Victorian Gardens of the Hugonin-Perrin Estate, and the grounds of the Lynch
   and Conrad homes.

   Cathy McCarthy, President of the Friends of McNabs Island, says, "The Fall
   Foliage Tours is a great time for everyone to discover McNabs. Visitors will
   learn about the island's colourful history, wildlife and plants from
   experienced guides, who share their enthusiasm for McNabs and Lawlor Island
   Provincial Park. This fall, we are especially pleased to show-off the
