Completion of the Marysville restoration project- A decade in the making.

October 21, 2021

We are excited to announce that as of Wednesday, October 13th, 2021 we will have completed the tree planting phase of our restoration work on the 27-acre floodplain property owned by the City of Fredericton, Marysville Flats. The completion of tree planting at this property marks an important milestone in the Nashwaak Greenway Project. This community-based project has involved collaborations between the  NWAI and dozens of community organizations, businesses, NGOs and funding partners. It has taken over 10 years, hundreds of volunteer hours and thousands of trees to bring this dream to fruition.

The restoration of floodplain forest is important for: 

  •  Mitigating flooding by storing and slowing the movement of water  
  • Filtering surface runoff of pollutants before it enters the river 
  • Reconnecting the river with its floodplain
  • Providing aquatic and terrestrial habitat for native species
  • Shading our river
  • Providing a green space for the local community
  • Carbon sequestration 

The Nashwaak Watershed would like to thank all of our funders, volunteers and partners for making this project possible. Our organization is in the process of finalizing a conservation easement with the City of Fredericton on this property to protect and conserve this area for  generations to come.

Our water temperatures are heating up! As summer gets into full swing, you will notice the water temperatures increasing. While this weather is great for people, it can cause extreme stress to a variety of animals, including species-at-risk Atlantic salmon. NWAI is working hard to remove barriers to vital cold water refugia that are essential to these animals for species survival. For more information on Salmon and thermal refuge, check out information from our collaborators at the Atlantic Salmon Federation . Much of our water quality monitoring work is funded, in part, by the Government of New Brunswick and NB Wildlife Trust Fund. www.asf.ca/news-and-magazine/in-the-field/cold-water-enhancement#atlanticsalmonconservation #climatechange #watershed #wolastoq #conservation #protection #ASF #ASCF ...
