About Me
- June
- I have lived on Long and Brier Island most of my life and I love the natural beauty of our islands and the waters that surround us. I have worked as a stewardship officer of the Brier Island Nature Preserve for the Nature Conservancy of Canada, naturalist guide for many whale watching companies in our area, wrote a book entitled"Brier Island's Wildflower Field Guide", and volunteer for many nature organizations such as: N.S Bird Society, Environment Canada Species at Risk, GOMI-Gulf of Maine environmental youth program.I have won the Bay of Fundy Education and Awareness award and strive to tell as many people of the importance of stewarding and preserving our area for the next generation to enjoy as much as i do.

So so sad
June - what happens to the calf in this situation? Are there any humans who respond? Or is the calf left to feed any scavengers in the area? Just curious...
Aw...how old do you think it was?
Hi Everyone
just spoke to Shelley Barnaby and the whale is still at Western Light.During the last full tides it was stranded way above the high water line! So I think it’s there for awhile.
Sample were taken and will be sent in to center of coastal studies for analysis.
It is an unfortunate because we love to see who will bring back a new calf to our area.We are privledged to get the chance to watch them grow and learn to feed. So it is always sad when one doesn't make it. Thanks for all the interest and when i find out more i will keep my readers informed..
