Happening next week!! Lots of spots left. :)

Kwe' folks! In partnership with Community Eelgrass Restoration Initiative, the MNFC Youth Program will host a daytrip at Clam Harbour Beach to visit the eelgrass meadows. Together, we will learn about the importance of eelgrass conservation through Mi'kmaw cultural teachings.
