The Chignecto Isthmus is a narrow strip of land connecting mainland Nova Scotia to New Brunswick and the rest of North America. For centuries, Mi’kmaq First Nations would gather here to meet and to hunt waterfowl, fish, moose, bear and porcupine.
This 220-hectare nature reserve is an excellent example of a diverse Wabanaki (Acadian) forest, including mature red spruce, sugar maple, red maple and yellow birch. Most of the trees on this NCC nature reserve are more than 80 years old.
Located 19 kilometres west of Saint John, New Brunswick, Musquash is one of the last fully functioning estuaries in the Bay of Fundy, in one of the most biologically productive natural settings in Atlantic Canada.
Johnson’s Mills is an example of a critical stop-over for migrating shorebirds. Every summer, massive flocks of shorebirds journey through the Bay of Fundy from the Canadian Arctic before heading to South America. Johnson's Mills becomes the stage for one of nature's great migrations, as its mudflats and beaches serve as a temporary stopover for flocks of shorebirds numbering up to a quarter of a million individual birds.
These feature projects are just a few of many conservation areas that the Nature Conservancy of Canada (NCC) and our partners have secured in New Brunswick.
