Description: Help restore the coastal ecosystem by participating in this cleanup at the New River Beach Nature Trail/Barnaby Head Trail!

The Barnaby Head Trail winds through the rugged coastline of New River Beach Provincial Park, showcasing scenic coastal headlands, mixed Acadian forest, and intertidal ecosystems along the Bay of Fundy.

This trail is part of the broader Fundy Coastal Ecoregion, an ecologically significant area renowned for extreme tides, coastal biodiversity, and important migratory bird habitats. The Barnaby Head Trail overlooks intertidal mudflats and rockweed beds that serve as crucial feeding and nesting grounds for seabirds and shorebirds. The surrounding area is also home to native plants, marine invertebrates, and frequent sightings of seals and porpoises, making it an important site for both conservation and community engagement.
