Living Shorelines: Restoration for Natural Erosion Protection

The Pays de Cocagne Sustainable Development Group (GDDPC) and the Rural Community of Beausoleil invite you to participate in restoring natural shoreline structures installed along the coast at Notre Centre in Grande-Digue and at the Cocagne Marina.

You will learn about the Living Shorelines approach while applying natural installation methods suited to coastal sites. A team from Helping Nature Heal will guide participants throughout the work.

The schedule of activities will take place from June 2 to June 4, 2026:
