Their barn needs a new roof (well, shingles and tar), which will cost an estimated $4000. They don\u2019t have the money to do the job, and progressive health issues limit the ability of both of them to earn much money.<\/p>\n<p>Barn swallows have been listed officially as endangered in Nova Scotia. Their barn seems to hold the last colony in the area.<\/p>\n<p>They own about 4 well-wooded square miles between the road and Lake George, and don\u2019t mind letting folks in to cut, by ox or similar methods. No harvesters allowed.<\/p>\n<p>They also have an organic blueberry you-pick, which doesn\u2019t earn as much as it used to. Business arrangements are possible there, as well.<\/p>\n<p>Lindsay would welcome reasonable financial support, either as a contribution or in exchange for some of the above mentioned resources. Anyone interested in helping out is welcome to contact Lindsay.<\/p>\n<p>Phone is 749-3644. No e-mail.<\/p>\n<p>Also feel free to contact John Sollows at 742-2802.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The barn in question and some of the abundant evidence Lindsay and Kellie Bethune, 2424 Lake George Road, Yarmouth County, have a small barn, built in 1901, which is well-colonized by barn swallows.
