Communauté rurale Beausoleil and Pays de Cocagne Sustainable Development Group would like to thank the participants of the Living Shorelines ShoreUp workshop hosted by Helping Nature Heal which took place August 26 to August 28, 2025 at the Notre Centre de Grande-Digue. With over 200 hours of collective time, participants succeeded in planting over 200 plants and installing about 100 meters of wattle fence!

 

Participants helped with site preparation and gathering of materials; installing nature-based infrastructure and adding plants; and setting up the monitoring program. Images from the activities can be found on the Pays de Cocagne Sustainable Development Group Facebook page  https://www.facebook.com/gddpc/posts/pfbid02tFzg1RDcU3Jz1SGgK6j4JnjkT7PzuVC1AWXF2mvVTk4mXyxaqhGmBYfdtFokhSoel  


We would especially like to recognize the help of Helping Naure Heal, who guided the entire process.
