For countless generations, the people of New Brunswick have cherished the wildlife and beauty of their natural surroundings. We have adopted many deeply-rooted outdoor traditions and we are drawn to the rivers, wetlands, forests, and coastlines of our beautiful province.
Conserving New Brunswick’s ecologically significant land is essential to preserving our outdoor traditions and the places we are connected to. Is it possible to put a dollar value on the benefits that these spaces and unspoiled natural areas bring to our communities? Most of us consider them invaluable and essential parts of our lives.
Conservation areas and nature preserves enhance our own well-being and the well-being of wildlife and plant species, some of which are found nowhere else in the province or country.
As more land in New Brunswick is given over to development, pressure increases on unprotected natural areas to become sites for human activity. Government alone cannot protect all of the areas that are most deserving of preservation for future generations.
There is an increasing need for citizens and organizations like the Nature Trust to keep the natural fabric of New Brunswick viable for future generations. Together, we can do better than 10% protected areas in the province. With your help, we can preserve a way of life and the places that support it.
