Protecting the threatened Appalachian Hardwood Forests of New Brunswick
This holiday season, we have set the ambitious goal to raise $100,000 by December 31, 2023, to support our ongoing work to protect the Appalachian Hardwood Forests of New Brunswick.
Conserving the Appalachian Harwood Forest has been an important part of the Nature Trust’s work since 1997. That’s when we launched our project to protect what has become one of New Brunswick’s most threatened forest types.
These lush forests are truly magical—you can sense it as soon as you step beneath the towering sugar maples, ironwood, and ash. They’re not just home to incredibly beautiful and rare plants such as yellow lady’s slipper, maidenhair fern, and Canada violet—they are wildlife sanctuaries for black bears, fishers, pileated woodpeckers, forest songbirds and barred owls.
But we stand to lose something incredibly special if we don’t act now.
The Appalachian Hardwood Forest, once covering 500,000 acres in New Brunswick, is now one of the most threatened forest types in our province.
Less than 1% remains standing.
These unique forests have been nearly eradicated from their natural range in Carleton and Victoria counties due to generations of clearing for agriculture, settlement, and logging.
By giving today, you become a Guardian of the Hardwoods, making a positive impact and ensuring these threatened forests are protected for future generations.
YOU can make a difference
give to the hardwoods
Our ongoing work to protect this habitat is one of love and patience. It requires identifying properties, building relationships, conducting site surveys, nurturing opportunities and ultimately the transactions of securing the land, all of which requires tremendous commitment and resources.
Your generosity will help us conserve, protect and steward even more of the Appalachian Hardwood Forests. Together, let’s safeguard these special forests for future generations to enjoy.
Will you consider giving today and becoming a Guardian of the Hardwoods?
