Bay Of Fundy Island Now Protected

An island in the Bay of Fundy near Grand Manan is now in the hands of the Nature Trust of New Brunswick.

Connors Brothers donating Southern Wolf Island to the trust.

Renata Woodward tells Tide News it will not be used for tourism, as it has at-risk species and a high ecological value.


She says they will probably promote scientific research, and outreach and education in terms of science and environment.

Woodward says this came about through the Nature Trust's "Campaign for Coastal Lands".
