A comment on ConnectingAlbertCounty.org/food-farming--fishing/go-nuts

What an amazing story of how gardening, old and new, has been passed down through the years and is still harvesting even more tasty treats today. I have tried the walnuts and they are delicious! One bag is just not enough! Thank you for what you do!

Letter: Help Solve a Hillsborough Mystery

21/2/2021

As finishing touches are being added to The History of Hillsborough Public Library, a last call is being made for a few missing bits. A previous request for information in Connecting Albert County brought in three valuable pieces of history: a date of interest, a lovely picture of the group which founded the library and biographical information on one of the founders.

Stephanie Wood’s “Blue carbon” article in the Dec. 2020 issue of Connecting Albert County raised many questions for myself and other Albert County marshland owners. The article referred to research by Dr. Gail Chmura that asserted that significant amounts of carbon can be sequestered in the salt marshes of the Bay of Fundy. The article cited a 2009 report entitled “Blue Carbon: the Role of Healthy Oceans in Binding Carbon,” which concludes that preserving and recovering the world’s coastal ecosystems “could offset 3-7% of global fossil fuel emissions over the course of two decades.”

Response to an Open Letter to the Hon. Mike Holland

Hon. Mike Holland replies to a letter in the Feb. 2021 issue (ConnectingAlbertCounty.org/opinions-letters-and-reflections/open-letter-to-the-honourable-mike-holland).

It is with great pleasure that I submit some of my thoughts related to the protection of the Shepody Mountain region and how that relates to the overall work we are doing to double the conserved and protected areas of our beautiful province.

I very much appreciated the thoughts in a previous newsletter from Mr. Béland raising some questions about what protecting Shepody Mountain means to our county and indeed, the biodiversity and ecological sustainability of our entire province.

Note from Connecting Albert County: We understand this letter discusses a sensitive issue. For this reason, we have cut the names of individuals and blurred the faces in the pictures. We have also informed all groups and individuals involved in the issue about the following letter and invited their response to be published in the March 2021 issue of Connecting Albert County.

This is a follow-up to my last comment on saving Shepody Mountain [see comments at Deborah Carr’s article at www.connectingalbertcounty.org/environment/timber-harvest-on-shepody-mountain] and the few people who are pushing for it.

These pictures are of 18 people in the Moncton Outdoor Enthusiasts walking club trespassing on my property (and it wasn't the first time they were up there). They are taking a photo shoot in front of my No Trespassing sign (while standing on red spruce seedlings I planted) which is several feet on my property (note the property line is clearly visible).
