"A Bird's Eye View of the Tantramar Marshes" is a short documentary video designed to give guests at the Sackville Visitor Information Centre an overview of the natural and human history of the dramatic landscape that borders our community. Featuring dramatic aerial views and intimate closeups of marshland geography and wildlife, it is the product of a collaboration between videographer and editor Anas Nannis and writer/narrator Sandy Burnett. Beginning with views of the marsh as it might have appeared to a passing bird centuries before any human presence, it traces the transformation of saltmarsh into dyked farmland and, more recently, into extensive areas of freshwater conservation projects such as the Tantramar Wetland Centre and the Sackville Waterfowl Park.
