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.

It was a pleasure to provide a tour to Minister Crossman and Minister Holland at the Marysville Flats today. We appreciated the opportunity to share the successes of riparian restoration with our elected officials.

Our second water quality survey of the summer was done on July 13th to 16th and results are in!![]()

An E.Coli measurement for a single sample needs to exceed 400 MPN/100 ml to exceed recreational limits. None of our sample sites in watershed exceeded recreational limits!![]()

Additionally, stream temperatures at the time were below 16 C, except for the Nashwaak at Barker's Point and the Tay River, unusual for this time of year, but ideal for cold-water fish.
