Land conservation helps to protect streams and rivers

Land situated along our rivers and streams holds a special place in our hearts and plays a vital role in protecting nature’s ecological features. These riparian zones, as they are called, are also prime habitat for wildlife and rare plants.

Trees located along brooks provide shade to keep stream temperatures cool for fish. Tree root systems and shoreline vegetation also prevent erosion and act as filters to protect rivers from runoff caused by human activity.

By permanently protecting your land from damaging clear-cuts or poorly planned developments, you assure a legacy of nature conservation for future generations.

Petitcodiac Watershed Land Conservation Project

The Petitcodiac Watershed Land Conservation Project aims to promote land conservation along the Petitcodiac, Memramcook and Shepody River systems.

If you own a piece of land near a watercourse in this region and want to make sure that it is forever protected, call us to find out how we can help you.

Conservation tools include purchases of land or obtaining legal easements to protect the ecological features long after the land has been transferred or sold to someone else.
