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 the local community on the value of healthy rivers and floodplains.

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.

@UNBiodiversity: 🌴🌳🌲When we plant the right trees in the right places, we support a cooler, greener and healthier future.
🌆 As populations grow in cities, urban trees provide many environmental and social benefits, including mitigating #ClimateChange and increasing #biodiversity.

We had an amazing 55 folks join us for a night of stargazing and night time hiking. We were so lucky to hear barred owls, herons and frogs calling in the darkness, have a stunning moment of "not so silent" silence on the boardwalk and heard so many stories about the night sky.

Our third and fourth water quality surveys were done on August 11th & 16th and September 7th & 9th, which brings our water quality survey season to a close! As you can see, the results indicated no E.Coli or temperature exceedances in the Nashwaak Watershed. A few sites came close to exceeding 20°C in August due to the heatwave, the highest being 19.9°C at Campbell Creek headpond. Temperatures are steadily decreasing this month thanks to this fall weather, which is ideal for coldwater fish such as salmon and brook trout. ![]()
