The Nature Trust is looking to expand the amount of land along the Bay of Fundy coastline that will be preserved. This follows the addition of 5 acres on Deer Island as part of the Clark Gregory Nature Preserve in memory of Dr.Clark Gregory.
Walter Emrich of the Nature Trust says property owners like to leave a legacy.
The latest addition to the Nature Trust was acquired thanks to the help of land donor Jim Johnston and a woman in Maine, Betsy Duncan, who was the partner of the late Clark Gregory, and was granted life estate rights.
Emrich says the undeveloped coastline and steep coastal cliffs create a unique habitat and conditions for rare plants to survive and thrive.
