Another piece of land in the Province is now protected by the Nature Trust of New Brunswick. The Graham Government has donated 27 hectares which now becomes an official nature preserve. The piece of property is right behind Samuel de Champlain and runs down to the Saint John River. Renata Woodward with the Nature Trust tells CHSJ News, this is a wonderful addition to the group's to do list.
Along with the property from the Province, John Irving has donated $75,000 dollars which will finance the stewardship of the reserve. Homeowners in Ragged Point and the Boars Head Road area have been working for years to protect this piece of property.
