With Hurricane Lee knocking on Nova Scotia's door, we wanted to show you our Living Shoreline project. The BEFORE photo is how the shoreline looked in 2012 – in preparation for our Lodge rebuild. The AFTER photo shows our shoreline now. You'll notice very little erosion, beautiful wildflowers, and a hedge of fragrant, salt tolerant Rosa Rugosas. Who needs a big rock wall? It’s prettier, too! This once vulnerable bank survives the storms and hurricanes that land on our doorstep. Inappropriate shoreline stabilization methods can actually do more harm than good by exacerbating beach erosion, damaging neighbouring properties, impacting marine habitats, and diminishing the capacity of beaches and dunes. We do our best to keep things the way Mother Nature intended, even if she can get a little cranky. This weekend, it's business as usual here at the beach. White Point is the best place to be for storm watching and cuddling up by the fire. To quote our owner, "We get prepared, and soldier on. We have never closed." #HurricaneLee #stormsmart #novascotiaweather #southshorenice #staysafe #naturalshoreline #lovewhereyoulive #stormchips
