Youghall Beach, Bathurst NB
Come join the NBEN, Nature NB, Birds Canada, Healthy Coasts NB, REGEN Media, the Government of New Brunswick, The Bassin Versant de la Baie des Chaleurs, the Port of Belledune, the Canadian Wildlife Service, the City of Bathurst and restoration experts from Helping Nature Heal to learn about living shorelines and take part in a hands-on volunteer effort to restore the coast at Youghall Beach in Bathurst, New Brunswick. Help plant trees and shrubs and build other natural erosion protection measures that will work to restore the living shoreline. These measures not only provide protection against storm surges, flooding, and erosion, but also create an important habitat for the endangered Bank Swallow species. This living shoreline restoration is being completed before the Bank Swallows migrate back to New Brunswick for the spring season to support the health of their population.
