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 18^th, 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.

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'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:
