Property Info

Friend Island is a small island located at the south end of Pointe au Baril. This island is primarily open, flat bedrock with small pockets shrubs, trees and herbaceous vegetation. Long, sloping fingers along the shoreline create ideal, sheltered conditions for coastal meadow marsh communities, supporting a high diversity of flora and fauna, including a variety of amphibians, butterflies and dragonflies. The property is located close to a Conservation Reserve, contributing to the protection of other natural values found in the area. This property represents one of the first sizeable donations to the Trust and included a bi-national dedication ceremony to recognize the American donor.
