Living Shorelines: Natural Coastal Protection Workshop

Communauté rurale de Beausoleil and Pays de Cocagne Sustainable Development Group (GDDPC) invite you to take part in a hands-on workshop guided by Rosmarie Lohnes of Helping Nature Heal.

The workshop will be held on Tuesday June 3 from 1:30pm to 4:30pm and Wednesday June 4 from 8:30am to 11:30 am at the Cocagne Marina, 130 Marina Street, Cocagne NB, E4R 2T1

Helping Nature Heal (https://helpingnatureheal.com/) uses materials from nature, advanced science and ecosystem restoration expertise to restore vegetation and help stabilize shorelines.

The objective of the activity is to conduct maintenance work on the natural infrastructure created along the bank at the marina in 2023. Rosmarie will inspect the premises and participants will help with maintenance of the natural installations that help control erosion.

Participation is free.

This initiative is made possible thanks to support of the New Brunswick Environmental Trust Fund and Nature NB.

Details: Please bring :

A water bottle – there will be a water station and snacks on site
