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.

We are partnering with ACAP St John & UNB to monitor cyanobacteria in our watershed this year. If you see one of our monitoring sites like this one in the river, please leave it be.

Next week we'll be exploring the plants around us for use in a first aid kit to ensure preparedness in the case of emergencies and for quick remedies for bumps, bruises, and minor illnesses. We will be looking at yarrow, red clover, self heal, hawthorn and other “weeds“ in our ecosystem.
