If there are any local fishermen who are disposing of their old lobster rope before the beginning of this year's lobster season, I would be happy to reclaim it and keep it out of the landfill. As a token of my appreciation, I would be able to provide a gift of a woven lobster rope mat or basket in return. I can pick the lobster rope up at your location or you can drop it off by my greenhouse at 111 West Street in Donkin.
