Ecology

In New Brunswick, the watershed of the Meduxnekeag is home to the richest, most diverse, and highest concentration of mature Appalachian Hardwood Forest in Atlantic Canada. This forest type, also known as St. John River Valley Hardwood, contains many understory plants rare or uncommon in the province. These include black raspberry, wild ginger, maidenhair fern, showy orchids, wild coffee, and numerous others. This biodiversity does not stop with plants and trees- it is also home to many species of insects, birds and other animals!
