Pendleton Island Cabin Removal

Ferry Ramp, Deer Island, NB

Are you looking for an opportunity to help care for nature? Join us in restoring a natural habitat at the Nature Conservancy of Canada’s (NCC’s) Pendleton Island Nature Reserve.

Just off the northern tip of Deer Island in Passamaquoddy Bay lies a stunning and undeveloped island. The Pendleton Island Nature Reserve is mostly forested, with several sandy beaches and rocky shorelines.

At this day-long event, we will remove the remnants of an old hunting cabin from the forest. We will work as a team to carry lumber and other debris from the site to the shore, approximately 250 metres along a coastal trail. A boat will then transport the debris to a dumpster on the nearby Deer Island.

Participants must be capable of lifting and carrying multiple loads of heavy debris over a rough terrain.
