Hiking and Habitats at Dunbar Falls

October 2, 2018

We sucessfully made it to the end of the trail- and take a look at the Dunbar Falls!

To build onto our “Upstream/Downstream” elementary education program, we have developed the “Introduction to Hiking and Habitats at Dunbar Falls” outdoor field trip program for Grade 4 classes. This habitats-focused field trip takes place at the beautiful Dunbar Falls, located near Durham Bridge, New Brunswick. Along the trail, participants learn about local habitats, act as land-use managers for the Nashwaak watershed, and have the opportunity to do an Atlantic salmon habitat assessment at the base of Dunbar Falls.

On September 18th, we launched this program with Grade 3 to 5 students from the Fredericton Christian Academy, which consisted of 50 students, teachers, and parents. All participants were eager to hike the trail and to see the Dunbar Falls with the added benefit of covering topics in the New Brunswick Grade 4 Science Curriculum.

The students are eager to answer some habitat questions.

For more information on our “Upstream/Downstream” fall and spring education programming, visit the “Education” section of our website. To book a field trip with us, email info@nashwaakwatershed.ca or call (506) 261-4664.

Thank you to teachers and students at the Fredericton Christian Academy for participating in this new field trip, and we’re looking foward to taking many more classes on the “Introduction to Hiking and Habitats at Dunbar Falls” outing!

We took part in a Wilderness First Aid Course this week. Blair Doyle ran us through realistic wilderness scenarios that taught us to keep a cool head and figure it out how to care for injured people in the great outdoors. Special thanks to @MCFTfredericton for hosting us! https://t.co/qUOHs7LYDO

World Migratory Bird Day was yesterday, 2022's theme is light pollution. Migratory birds travel throughout the day and night. Consider having your outdoor lighting on a timer and or motion sensor to reduce impact in the evening hours. #migratorybirdday2022 #lightpollution https://t.co/LVB2OR3q3o

We have been busy this week at the NWAI with training and field work and so we are a day late in celebrating World Migratory Bird Day. All the same, the ways we can help with 2022's theme of light pollution are just as relevant today! Many migratory birds travel continuously throughout the day and night and the decisions we make about lighting our homes and properties matter. Consider having your outdoor lighting on a timer and or motion sensor to reduce the impact of unnatural light in the evening hours. These efforts are important as navigation by way of the stars is key to migrating birds. Tell your neighbors, share with friends, our community efforts have an impact.
