The Ecology Action Centre, Helping Nature Heal and the Bluenose Coastal Action Foundation will be giving a presentation on “living shoreline” approaches to coastal erosion management.

Living shoreline projects use vegetation and other natural materials to help protect land from erosion while allowing the shoreline to retain its dynamic nature and habitat features. Please come learn about how these approaches are being used in Nova Scotia.
