Clean-Up On Pendleton Island Success

The Nature Conservancy of Canada celebrating a successful cleanup of Pendleton Island.

According to Shawna Wallace, their crew of 35 volunteers managed to clear the entire beach of styrofoam, rope, and plastic debris.

She tells Tide News the strong Fundy tides can take floating trash a long way before landing on our beaches.

She says they found a few neat things like toys, and even part of a sign from the Irving Nature Park in Saint John.


Wallace says even if you can't make it to a big clean-up, every piece of litter you pick up at your favourite beach helps.
