The Shoe Tree

Story and tree photographs by Deborah Carr
It stands alone in the field, just beyond a pasture gate…a solitary question mark on the landscape. All manner of shoes, boots, sneakers hang from its grey limbs.  A crooked signboard, nailed to its lifeless trunk bears the only clue to its purpose:  Walk for Hope. 

Admit it. We’ve all stopped to look, to peer, to wonder at this strange tree alongside Route 915 where it passes the Shepody marsh. It gains particular ethereal beauty in the low light of morning and early evening and has been photographed countless times by locals and tourists alike. Sometimes bus tours pause so visitors can pour out of the doors and snap memories to take home.  And everyone wonders...

What is its story?

Aboiteau (a-bwa-toe) refers to the dyke and sluice gate system, the remains of which you can see on the marsh land along the coast in Albert County.  In the Riverside Albert location, for instance, you can see the mounds of earth clearly from a few places.  You can take Hwy 915 towards Harvey, go to Shipyard Park, or the Sawmill Bridge or drive west on Hwy 114 towards Alma.

​

Despite the rain, the Albert County Museum's 6th Annual R.B. Bennett Day went ahead on Saturday. The day, meant to fall close to Bennett's July 3rd birthday, honours Canada's 11th prime minister and the only Canadian prime minister born in New Brunswick. The morning breakfast brought out 41 people and the kitchen had only three pancakes and a little bit of bacon left over at noon. Due to the rain the plan to barbecue hot dogs was abandoned and they were boiled instead.
