COMMUNITY SCIENCE
By providing educational and advocacy opportunities for the general public, Nature NB is building a more informed community that knows how to take care of our natural world.
By providing everyone with opportunities to learn about nature, celebrate it, and take action to protect it, we’re able to put our mission into motion and connect as many people as possible with nature.
Help Monarchs
Monarchs are considered a species at risk due to habitat loss, pesticide use, and climate change. Nature NB is committed to educating and supporting New Brunswickers to conserve and protect monarchs across the province.
Christmas Bird Count
In December, birders participate in a count coordinated by Birds Canada and the Audubon Society that runs throughout the Christmas season with surveys conducted in regions across North America.
Barrow’s Goldeneye Survey
The eastern population of Barrow’s Goldeneye is classified as a species of Special Concern by the Committee on the Status of Endangered Wildlife in Canada and their presence and movements in the province are not well-known.
Port of Saint John Waterbird Survey
This project aims to capture information on the abundance and distribution of waterbirds (shorebirds, waterfowl, seabirds, etc.) in the region. This project is funded through Canada’s Ocean Protection Plan led by Fisheries and Oceans Canada in partnership with the Nature Trust of New Brunswick and the Saint John Naturalists’ Club.
