Property Info
The Laura Bay Reserve is a combination of two property donations centred around the eastern end of Laura Bay in the north part of Pointe au Baril. The property includes not only a large portion of the coastal meadow marsh wetland along the shoreline of the bay, but also extensive interior habitats including rock barrens, forests, and interior swamp and fen communities. The property is also adjacent to the start of two conservation reserves which protect the majority of the shoreline and interior habitats north of Pointe au Baril. The property provides habitat for a number of sensitive and rare species.
