Nature Miramichi is organizing a birding trip to Beaubears Island, Île Boishébert in Miramichi on Saturday May 30. We will go ahead if there are light showers but will have to cancel if we have heavy rain, or if the boat captain decides conditions are not favourable for landing. It’s only a few minutes from shore though!
The cost is $15 per person, paid to the Beaubear’s interpretive centre that morning.
The 7 am boat is already full (10 people) but we have a second run going over at 7:20am and possibly one at 7:40am if there is enough demand. You could stay on the island several hours but must be off by 3 pm. You call the interpretive centre when you need the boat back to the mainland but they would prefer to take people off in groups of ten, so we will have to divide up by how long we intend to stay on the island- some will only be staying an hour or so I imagine. If you would like to sign up for this field trip you must register with us by Thursday May 28 by 6pm. Email Deana ([email protected]) if you want to be on the list and indicate your preferred time 7:20 or 7:40. Although this is a birding trip you don’t have to go birding, you could just walk the trail that goes all around the island or take a shorter trail. The boat to Beaubear’s Island doesn’t usually go in May, or so early in the morning- this is a special excursion arranged by one of our club members.
