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.

@OwenWGreen Sending you our support during this devastating time.
At our recent AGM we thanked outgoing president Peter Toner with this gift. Peter supported staff, helped develop a 10-year strategic plan, stood against the Sisson Mine, and lots more. The Nashwaak has benefitted immensely from his passion and dedication. Thank you, Peter! https://t.co/Xpj9Yldioa
