Volunteer Coordinator Brittany Clifford tells Tide News about Simpsons Island. "It's a 60 acre island in the Passamaquoddy Bay that the Nature Conservancy owns and protects, and has for a number of years. It's an island that we would like to keep in pristine condition and that's why we are organizing the clean-up."
Clifford says Simpsons Island is a typical marine-coastal habitat with coastal forests, rocky shores and sandy beaches. "It hosts a large variety of birds including common eiders and bald eagles."
The volunteers are meeting at the Stuart Town Wharf on Deer Island this Saturday.
