Together for 100 Stories
The people, places, and stories that got us here
For nearly four decades, the Nature Trust of New Brunswick has protected the forests, wetlands, islands, shorelines, and unique species that shape our province’s identity. From rare orchid habitats in western New Brunswick to stretches of Bay of Fundy shoreline, to the special places families have chosen to protect forever, each of these conserved lands tells a story.
To celebrate our 100th nature preserve milestone, we’d like to share those stories with you! Keep reading to hear from the thousands of New Brunswickers that have stepped up over the years—donors, volunteers, community partners—all united around the belief that the wild places we love should remain protected forever.
THE ROAD TO 100
Whether we’re walking through lush fields with reflective land donors or wading through cedar swamps in search of increasingly rare lichen, each new chapter in our shared conservation story never fails to spark excitement! These stories represent all the people, places, and projects that have paved the way to our 100 nature preserve milestone.

BEYOND 100
Beyond our fundraising efforts to secure new protected nature preserves, we also strive to build partnerships and inspire New Brunswickers to get out in nature and learn about the importance of protecting our province’s unique natural heritage and biodiversity. These are the stories of the people who have been inspired, and who continue to inspire us in turn.
