Nature isn’t something we visit—it’s part of who we are. Through Passport to Nature, the Nature Trust of New Brunswick invites you to rediscover your relationship with local wild spaces through free, year-round events that connect people to the land and to each other.

From birding mornings and wildflower walks, to planting days and hands-on care for our nature preserves, these events offer something for everyone. Whether you’re here to learn, lend a hand, or just feel more grounded in your community, Passport to Nature is a doorway into deeper connection—with nature, with neighbours, and with yourself.

Many of these events take place on lands we protect—forever. So every step you take is part of something bigger.

🌿 Nature-based events for all ages and abilities
🌿 Free, community-powered, and locally grounded
🌿 Led by passionate naturalists, volunteers, and local leaders

Planning your next outing?

Our public trails span an impressive 63 km across 26 preserves across New Brunswick. That’s a lot of ground to explore year-round, with something for everyone, from gentle walks to more challenging hikes. Now, our Trails by Region page makes it easy to explore preserves throughout New Brunswick!

Our Passport to Nature program is made possible thanks to the generous support of our funding partners.

Their commitment to conservation helps us offer free, community-focused events on our nature preserves—bringing people closer to the land, fostering environmental stewardship, and inspiring a deeper understanding of New Brunswick’s natural heritage. We extend our sincere gratitude for their role in connecting more people to the wild places we all share.

The Nature Trust of New Brunswick acknowledges that the nature preserves we protect are located on the unceded and unsurrendered homelands of the Wolastoqiyik, Mi'kmaq, and Peskotomuhkatiyik peoples. In the 18th century, treaties between these three Nations and the British Crown were co-developed, with the first being signed in 1725. The treaties did not surrender lands, waters or resources. They established the rules for what was supposed to be an ongoing relationship of peace, friendship and mutual respect between the Nations. In effort to reconcile the original intent of these treaties, the Nature Trust looks to the Wolastoqiyik, Mi'kmaq, and Peskotomuhkatiyik peoples' enduring relationships with the land and waters. They guide and inspire our work to conserve New Brunswick's natural landscapes and we recognize their stewardship of these lands since time immemorial.
