Green Shores initiative

February 28, 2020

Development impacts (e.g., habitat loss, pollution) are affecting the health of and ecological services provided by shorelines across Atlantic Canada. Fortunately, there are science-based tools and best practices to help minimize the impacts of new developments and restore shoreline ecosystems of previously-developed sites.

Plans are underway to customize the BC-based Green Shores® program to Atlantic Canada so waterfront owners can better enjoy their property and organizations working on shorelines can make better decisions.
If you are a waterfront property owner or an individual working on shorelines we’d like to hear from you! By participating in a short survey you can help bring shore-friendly solutions to Atlantic Canada. Be sure to complete the survey by February 28, 2020.

Waterfront property owners, click on this link: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/Greenshores_Owners

Individuals / organizations working on shorelines, click on this link: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/Greenshores_Organizations

Thank you in advance for sharing your views. For further information, please contact DG Blair, Executive Director of the Stewardship Centre for BC (dg@stewardshipcentrebc.ca).

The attached one-pager provides more information on the Green Shores® program.

Acrylic on wood, 9 x 12, Unframed, $155. The calm, the peace, the freshness of a frozen lake in the winter. So many tranquil shorelines of beauty surround the Bay. We have the majesty of the ocean all around us, and beyond their cresting waves, in amongst the trees and forest, is the quiet, peaceful, silent stillness of our many lakes. A lake in the winter takes on a different sense of quiet and stillness. Breathe in this moment, this beauty. Breathe in peace.
