Meet the Life We Protect
Every forest, marsh, and meadow in New Brunswick is alive with stories—if you know where to look. From the call of the barred owl at dusk to the tiny lichens quietly clinging to old-growth trees, these species are more than names in a guidebook. They are neighbours, teachers, and part of the places we call home.
Here, you’ll find profiles of the species that make our protected places so special. Learn how they live, what they need, and how your support helps them thrive. Whether you’re curious about a plant you spotted on a hike, or want to know more about the creatures calling our wetlands home, this is your place to explore.
These aren’t just facts. They’re invitations to pay closer attention—to fall in love with the wild details of your own backyard.
