Species at Risk

Nature NB's Species at Risk program focuses on the recovery of species at risk and their habitats. We have been working on behalf of species at rosk for the past 21 years and are especially recognized for the positive effect we have had on the protection of the endangered Piping Plover. We are also working to educate the public about various species of plants and have recently added to our program the newly listed species at risk, the Chimney Swift.

To achieve this, Nature NB delivers educational presentations in communities and schools throughout New Brunswick, with a particular focus in the Acadian Peninsula region. We also encourage partnerships between our organization and the local population. Our Coastal Guardians program has been in operation since 1995 with the goal of protecting the Piping Plover in the Acadian Peninsula. Recently a Chimney Swift program has been implemented that facilitates the construction of specially designed towers aimed at increasing the number of suitable nesting sites.
