First impressions are great at Cochrane Road Beach in Port Greville. We truly love this beach for walks at high and low tide and anytime in-between. Waves leaping at the shore, gulls squawking overhead and an occasional bald eagle soaring high in the sky.
Upon closer inspection we discover pieces of plastic, rope of varying lengths, styrofoam, glass bottles, aluminum cans, food containers, empty oil bottles and so much more! This type of trash is not unique to this beach. What sets this beach apart is that accessibility is relatively easy and we can drive along and pick up full bags of collected trash instead of hauling them out straining our backs.
There were six of us today bending, reaching and stuffing… trash bags that is! The initial tally was just under 85 lbs until we found another large piece of rusty metal and bits and pieces of rope and plastic. We took a total of 90 lbs from a relatively short distance on the beach. It’s our way to commemorate Earth Month and say thank you to the county for allowing us unlimited access to the amazing Bay of Fundy! Beach clean up events are a fabulous way to build community, connect with like-minded people and make visitors feel that we care for our surroundings. Thank you to all who came out today to join the special event!
