Section of Port Joli Coastline Headed For Protection



A stretch of South Shore coastline appears headed for preservation! The Nature Conservancy of Canada, which already has protected environmentally-sensitive land in the province, is looking to buy almost 400 acres next to the Port L'Hebert Migratory Bird Sanctuary. Conservancy Communication Director Andrew Holland says this purchase would be a first in the area.



The NCC has launched a 5 week campaign to raise about 50-thousand dollars to complete the purchase. Its looking to business, industry and individuals for help.



The Conservancy is a not-for-profit charity and tax receipts are available.
