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've been very fortunate with @NCC_CNC staff; prior to @Andrew__Holland, Josh Noseworthy now with @_GCS_ was NWAI treasurer and William Millar was a director; another @NCC_CNC employee! https://t.co/UwOdLJ2Gqe
We're so grateful for dedicated directors like @Andrew__Holland and it's nice to know that we have his family members keeping an eye on our restoration efforts in Marysville. Here's a pic from this fall with students from @UNBForEM volunteering at the Marysville Flats. https://t.co/E9sV6Fex2S https://t.co/acF3hh8QNj

The province has committed to doubling its protected and conserved land and freshwater from 4.6 per cent to 10 per cent, an area equivalent to 19 Fundy National Parks.
To this end, the provincial government has launched the New Brunswick Nature Legacy Information Hub where provincial residents can nominate specific areas on Crown land for protection and share information on areas under consideration to be protected.
You can access the Nature Legacy Hub via this link:
