New Spring sightings and contruction

Hi Everyone
Today was a bit cool but as the evening approached the wind dropped out and it was lovely. The water was like glass...
Went to pond cove today where construction is underway to put in a new parking lot and fix up the road. This should make it easier for people to enjoy the beach and the Brier Island Nature Preserve. The Nature Conservancy of Canada received money and is also fixing up the trail around whipples point to Western light. Also they are putting in a new parking lot there to. This is to avoid many off roads that go all over the place and destroy natural habitat needed for the plants and animals in these areas. The students of Westport Village School did a village clean to coincide with Earth Day. We will also be having a volunteer event in June to clean up pond cove area.Many hands make light work so they say. Hopefully we will get alot of community volunteers out because pond cove is such a special place for visitors and our communities.
Some spring sightings from today include: Strawberry Blossoms, Violets, new dune grass shoots peeking up through the sand. Rose rogosa bushes and beach pea are showing us there leaves. Also some Ground Ivy, and dandelions. Some turkey vultures were soaring around the village. At Northern Light i sighted a Northern Harrier.
