Musquash Cleanup Declared A Success

The people at the Nature Conservancy are happy with what they didn't have to pick up in a clean up of the Musquash Estuary Nature Reserve near Lorneville.

Cleanup organiser Ann Morrision tells CHSJ News there wasn't a whole lot of garbage which is a good thing but they did have to do some work on making the coastal trail better for hikers by removing trees and laying down boardwalks where it was muddy because of all the rain we've had.

The volunteers collected three bags of garbage off the beach including four large pieces of styrofoam. The Musquash Estuary is the province's first Marine Protected area and is the last fully functioning estuary in its natural state on the Bay of Fundy.
