Irving Eco-Centre, La dune de Bouctouche
|
| Bouctouche |
| The centre was developed to preserve and restore one of the few remaining great sand dunes on the northeastern coastline of North America. At the same time the centre provides opportunities for people, especially students, to learn more about the dune and its ecology. The white sand dune that stretches 12 km across Bouctouche Bay is a result of the constant action of wind, tides and sea currents since the last ice age. |
