Hardwood Lands is an unincorporated community in the province of Nova Scotia, Canada, located in East Hants Municipality in Hants County.[1][2]

Hardwood Lands is home to a large sand pit, opened by Nova Scotia Sand & Gravel in 1954. Nova Scotia Sand & Gravel and the sand pit were purchased by Shaw Resources in 1966,[3] and today supplies all sand for the runway of the Halifax Stanfield International Airport. The Hardwood Lands sand deposit is five kilometers in length and formed during the last ice age roughly 20,000 years ago.[4]
