The Nashwaak Watershed Association was established in 1995 as a not-for-profit organization. Our organization restores land that can protect river water quality and we engage people on the use of its importance.

The Nashwaak Watershed
Make a difference, get involved.
We are proposing the creation of Fredericton’s first Greenway along the banks of the Nashwaak River. It will be a publicly held forest, trail and wetland area maintained as a centerpiece of natural landscape.
This year the NWAI will be starting our own river health monitoring program, where we will be testing water quality indicators including temperature, dissolved oxygen, pH, and iron levels.
We are in the primary stages of Upstream/ Downstream, our education program for schools in the watershed. We will be integrating classroom concepts with outdoor, hands-on learning in the watershed.
Our “State of the Nashwaak Watershed Report” is a detailed look at the history and current health of our watershed, including water quality, biodiveristy, geomorphology, threats and ways that you can help the watershed.

Over the past two weeks, with the help of over 50 volunteers, we have planted over 975 native floodplain trees. Planted at Marysville Flats, these trees will help to restore our natural ecosystem and prevent flooding and erosion. We couldn’t do it without our volunteers! https://t.co/BNHdTOmz4x
@environmentca: Build homes for wildlife such as 🐦, 🦇 and 🐝 because making space for nature starts at home. #ProtectNature Challenge

I'm Amy and I live in Taymouth. I’ve joined the Landowner Conservation Program and really look forward to adding willow and other native species to the shoreline. For the next year I will be sharing periodic observations on the Nashwaak River– I’m calling this Wild Wednesdays. https://t.co/M2eUdKd3hE

Over the past two weeks, with the help of more than 50 volunteers, we have planted over 975 native floodplain trees. The majority of the trees planted were silver maples, a native floodplain species, but other tree species included red maple and red oak. Planted at Marysville Flats, these trees will help to restore our natural ecosystem and prevent both flooding and erosion. ![]()
A big thank you to all of our community volunteers, as well as the teams from the Department of Justice and Public Safety and the Gaia Project that came out to help. We couldn’t do it without you! ![]()
