Property Info

This 4 hectare island is the largest in a series of outlying islands in the Sans Souci area. The island is dominated by Precambrian bedrock substrates with wave-washed shores. Shrub swales are found in depressions and along protected shores while higher ground is characterized by White Pine, White Cedar and a mix of shrubs and herbaceous cover. This island, like other outlying islands, is unique in its exposure to extreme wind and wave activity and serves as a critical refuge for migrating birds.
