Exciting news – the Cass’s Pond Project is under way click here for more details.

Our Waterways: From east to west our five streams include Parson’s Creek, Aulds Creek, Bell’s Creek, which empty into Covehead Bay, and, Black River, and MacCallum’s Creek which flow into Brackley Bay.  The bays are joined by a narrow channel at MacMillan Point and flow into the Gulf of St Lawrence at the mouth of Covehead Bay by the Harbour.

Our Communities: The Covehead-Brackley Watershed Area encompasses the North Shore communities of Brackley Beach, Brackley Point, Covehead Road, Harrington, North Milton, Stanhope, West Covehead, Winsloe North, and Union Road. The history of these communities is varied, with Stanhope itself being one of the oldest settlements on Prince Edward Island. Economic activity for much of the watershed has focused mostly on farming, fishing, and tourism.  

Our mandate:  FCBB is a community-based volunteer organization established in 2000, incorporated in 2001. Our mandate is to maintain a watershed area that is healthy: one which nourishes the land and water, one which is sustainable to native flora and fauna, and also balances the interests of residents, including those working in aquaculture, forestry, agriculture, and tourism.
