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. Our full strategic plan can be found here: Strategic Plan 2020 Vision We envision people caring for a clean, healthy, and beautiful … Learn More
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.

This is the river at McLaggan Bridge. In 2020 part of this rocky cliff dropped into the river. It makes one think about "deep" time and the geological processes and glacial action that make rivers. https://t.co/GO6z2LL836
@NatureNB: March 5th is the Day of Unplugging.
What better way to end March Break, than by turning off your devices and getting outside? Get out for a walk in a local park or green space, and really take the time to be a part of nature and appreciate quality time with loved ones. 🌲💚 https://t.co/B1vJYwiQQL
This morning the Nashwaak Watershed Association started our Spring Break-up data gathering for GNB's River Watch Program. From early March into early April we will monitor conditions on the Nashwaak River at 9+ sites, twice weekly. See the river at Giant's Glen Rd. https://t.co/wOJ8AWHv2N

Each week as we gather data for the River Watch Program, we will introduce you to a new place on the watershed. This is MacLaggan Bridge (between Nashwaak Bridge and Stanley). In 2020 a section of the rocky cliff in this photo broke off and fell into the river. It is hard to tell if more erosion has happened since or if the snow is falling from the upper ledge. It makes one think about "deep time" and the geological and glacial processes that created the Nashwaak in the first place.
