Boars Head

On Thursday, May 20th Renata Woodward and I (Jessica McKeil) traveled to Saint John and Grand Bay-Westfield. We spent the day meeting and planning for our International Trail Day Event, and finished up our visit by holding a public meeting about our Boars Head Nature Preserve.

On Saturday, May 8th, the Nature Trust of New Brunswick held an event to introduce our new neighbours, community groups, and local community leaders to out Boars Head Property. We had a wonderful turn out including Trevor Holder (our local MLA), Patty Higgins (Saint John City Councilor), two Scout Leaders from the Portland United Scout Group, Anne Bardou (Manager of National Historic Sites) and many others.

On Friday, May 7th Renata and Jessica traveled to Boars Head with Ben
Woodward to lay out a trail system over the Boars Head property. It was a great
day hiking over the rocky ridges, and through the beautiful forests of this
property. The trail we laid out travels down through the land, reaches the
waterfront beach and loops around to join back up with itself. The entire trail
is about 1.5 km long and at times follows existing rough foot or game trails.
