Funding Announcement

April 25, 2019

We’re pleased to announce that this is the fourth year we’ve received funding from the Atlantic Salmon Conservation Foundation (ASCF). Stephen Chase, Executive Director of the ASCF met with Marieka Chaplin for this funding announcement. The ASCF generously gave $34,049 to fund two projects in our watershed.

The funding is for projects that will improve fish habitat in the watershed. Fish require access to a variety of habitats to spawn, feed, and find cool water. One of the predominant causes of habitat fragmentation are watercourse crossings that create barriers and restrict the movement of juvenile and adult fish through a watershed. Our work aims to increase the amount of available upstream aquatic habitat.

Natural infrastructure, such as forests and wetlands, is increasingly being recognized as a Valuable and cost-effective strategy for combatting the dual crisis of climate change and biodiversity loss. In particular, there is increased interest in exploring the relationship between natural infrastructure and flood attenuation. This is especially critical in New Brunswick, given that severe storm events and subsequent floods are increasing dramatically and New Brunswick has had to access disaster relief funding more than any other province in Canada.In this Lunch & Learn session Simon J. Mitchell, Vice President Resilient Habitats for @WWF-Canada and Megan de Graaf, Acadian Forest Program Director for @Community Forests International will present jointly on their natural infrastructure projects in along the Wolastoq River. This webinar is brought to you by Nashwaak Watershed Association Inc. in collaboration with the Conservation Council of N B Register via this link: www.conservationcouncil.ca/nashwaak-watershed-lunch-and-learn-series/ ...
