Join us for this exciting 2 full days workshop where you will carve your own sculpture from a 10lb piece of beautiful soapstone.

The stone can be worked by almost anyone, so experience is not necessary. The learner will start out with stone, a file set, sandpaper, and a saw. This can and will make an interesting and relaxing hobby, and you will enjoy making pieces that will last for generations to come.

The workshop starts at 9am and will include a 1 hour lunch break. Expect approximately 7 hours of total workshop time and to be finished around 5pm, each day.

Come join the NBEN, Nature NB, Birds Canada, 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.
